About Javanese Beads (4th to 19th Century):

These beads originate from Java Island in Indonesia and are known for their various glass patterns. They have been affectionately named based on their appearance, such as vegetable beads (Manik Sayur), lizard beads (Manik Tokek), and bird beads (Manik Burung). The exact production dates and locations remain subjects of debate among researchers, which is why the production period is broadly estimated between the 4th and 19th centuries.
