Often revered to as “the King of Beads” or "Rosetta Beads", this extraordinary strand of 7 layer, green heart, Chevrons is truly a touchstone of history. Dating from the 15TH - 16TH century, the beads on this strand are strung together to make a stand-out display for the collector. The strand is in EF-45 condition with only 2 beads showing any chips, and light to normal wear, as one would expect from beads of this vintage. There are 21, medium 7 layer chevrons on this great strand, several of the beads have been faceted, and all are wonderful stand alone examples of this historical bead type.
