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

These beads were excavated from Java Island, Indonesia, and are known for their unique glass patterns. They are affectionately named based on their designs, such as vegetable beads (Manik Sayur), lizard beads (Manik Tokay), and bird beads (Manik Burung). The exact era and production location of these beads remain subjects of ongoing research and debate among scholars, which is why they are broadly dated from the 4th to the 19th century. This set includes exceptionally rare large Javanese beads.
