Beads

Being rather lacking in inspiration today I have once again raided Mistress Talpa's jewel box.
The large glass bead in the centre is a 200 year old Venetian trade bead which I bought in a market in Accra, Ghana. The necklace on the right came from a trip to Zulu-land and is made up of old Abyssinian silver with amber and Venetian glass trade beads.
Next stop today, the vaccination centre for our covid booster and flu vaccinations.
