Unfortunately, can't remember the book this came from, but it's a nice illustration of the various types of Mauritanian silver beads.

Preethi thanks for posting this! I thought at first you had found all of these.

Most have granulation and are quite different to any other silver bead, very interesting, thank you.

maybe about the only published reference of these beauties!

It comes from DELAROZIERES's book "Perles d'Afrique"

I have it in M-F R`s book Les Perles de Mauritanie. You can see her own interpretation of a necklace on the cover. I hope to include one of my own soon.
