Pot Metal Beads
Salaams apolaki, These are Indian and likely to be pot metal...and traceable in style on library in a post by Tatyana Dianova at http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread...ighlight=BIDRI ...The distinct nature of the figures in the design are clearly from the Himachal Pradesh area ...The question also refers to the shape ...conical beads...and in the case of the small conical style seen in many regions including Yemen, Oman and other Arabian locations ...whereas in the large longer form I imagine also seen in other Indian regions ....thus it is more the design of specific female figures on the beads...Hoi Mata ... which points to the location I note here.
