AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
these pearls were made from quartz beads. The hole was created by working from the two sides toward the center with a percussion tool. This type of pearls is also found in larger specimens in West Africa, but smaller models like these are typical of the southern part of Mauritania. These were almost certainly means of payment, as there are only a few specimens with a patina showing wear traces in the hole.
Intact and unrestored.
