A Strand of African Polychrome Millefiori Glass Trade Beads.

A vibrant strand composed of cylindrical and segmented polychrome glass beads, decorated in intricate millefiori mosaic patterns. The beads display a lively palette of green, blue, yellow, red, and white, arranged in repeating geometric and floral motifs characteristic of traditional African trade bead adornment.

The majority of the strand consists of small, closely set green and blue mosaic beads with concentric eye-like designs, creating a continuous rhythmic pattern. Interspersed along the strand are larger feature beads in red, black, and multicoloured floral configurations, adding contrast and visual emphasis.
