Title: Rare Kiffa Beads
Description: Kiffa beads were made centuries ago in Mauritania from polychrome powder glass in bright, geometrical designs; the process was so time-consuming, with the primitive methods used, that only three kiffa beads could be made in a day. Five beads are included in this lot. See Opitz, p. 54.
