Large Antique Handmade Old Silver Globe Bead from Yemen (38x34mm), Ethnic Bead C

Description: Large Antique Handmade Old Silver Globe Bead from Yemen (38x34mm), Ethnic Bead CRJ_00163A_G This listing is for an old Yemeni handmade high silver content globe bead with a wheat design. In addition to the stringing hole, this bead has a loop to be used for dangles or to attach to a necklace. It is dated to the early to mid-1900s. The bead weighs 25,3g and measures about 38x34mm excluding the loop. It is in excellent antique condition. In beads of this age, which have traveled through many hands and continents, some imperfections are expected. We tried to show them in the photos, but please be aware that because the photos are close-ups, they show imperfections in much more detail and clarity than one can see with the naked eye. Yemenite jewelry-making goes back to the biblical Queen of Sheba and her gifts of jewelry to King Solomon. Later Islamic rule in Yemen imposed a prohibition on jewelry making on the Muslim population, and the art of Yemenite silversmithing became exclusively the domain of the Jewish community of Yemen, and it is to this community we owe the exquisite pieces of silver jewelry from Yemen. This art was passed from generation to generation. Today, however, the art of Yemenite silversmithing is in decline. Only just a handful of Jewish silversmiths remain in Yemen. Most Jewish families are now in Israel, but fewer and fewer of the young generation engage in the age-old tradition, and the beautiful objects of this trade become more and more of a piece of history. Weights and sizes are approximate. IMPORTANT NOTE. In the world of beads, and especially ancient and antique beads, errors in identification are common. We do our best to research and classify our beads accurately, however, mistakes are certainly possible. If you are a bead expert and notice any errors in the description, we invite you to please contact us and let us know. We are always grateful for any new information. We also accept returns no questions asked. See our Return Policy for detail. COLORS: Our photos are taken in different lighting in an attempt to show how beads look in different lighting conditions. We make every effort to show colors as accurately as possible. The white background photos are taken in daylight conditions. The black background photos are taken in the strong lab light and would be representative of what they would look like in the evening electric light. Some of the photos are backlit to emphasize their translucency. Note that monitor settings strongly affect the way the colors look. What you see on your monitor may differ from what you see with a naked eye depending on your monitor settings. WE COMBINE SHIPPING and will refund any overage. Contact us when placing the order and we will work with you to ensure the best available shipping cost.
