About Kiffa Beads:
Kiffa beads are a type of perforated bead sintered from glass powder, considered a form of glass beads. They are named after the city of Kiffa in Mauritania, where in 1949, ethnologist R. Mauny discovered them. They are particularly famous for their isosceles triangular shape with vertical stripe patterns.
