The man I bought my dlwah from in Mahdia had loose beads available. Some of the pieces I have posted belong to the lady who modeled them, including this piece. But identical recently fabricated pieces are sold in the old souk in Mahdia.

Edith, there are those great cube-shaped beads right in the middle. I would love a bead like that, or more! Are they available in jewelry stores?
