<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 51943, member: 37"]They are Egyptian. I think some of these were originally meant to be wax seals but, these days, they are mass produced souvenirs. Primarily used as paperweights. Some of these are drilled like the smaller beads but I never really knew why. I I have never seen these large ones on any kind of cord. Most are soapstone but not sure if yours is or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
