AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

General, number of beads, origin
The foundation of this necklace is formed by a large number of Dogon Blue beads, made in Bohemia around 1850. The process of making this type of bead was partly manual, which caused all these beads to vary slightly in thickness and diameter — but the differences are not significant.
Among the Dogon Blue beads, three Chevrons are placed; these are 6-layer chevrons made during the period between 1920 and 1950.

Quality
The quality of the beads is very good.

Weight and height
Chain: 140 grams; length of the chain 50 cm.
The largest chevron measures 33 * 23 mm. The smaller chevrons measure approximately 26 * 23 mm.
