Strands of micromosaic beads of various forms and sizes, generally characterised by the presence of vivid cadmium yellow, scarlet red and turquoise glass. A few also have mosaic insets of decorative linear elements at each end (figs. 91, 92). Examples of remarkable beauty and condition have been found in Mali near the village of Tin-Essamed (Finds X, XIII, XV).
