    Very nice, Birdchild. And I agree with komo, bauxite beads, most likely from Ghana.
    The amber-looking bead looks Moroccan and could have ended up in Ghana through trade. It is either faux amber or copal. Could we see a photo of the bead please?
    Unfortunately I can't see the blue beads very well against the blue background, but those could be Dutch trade beads.

    So neither Nepal nor Berber, although it has one Berber bead.:)

    Bauxite is the rock aluminium is made from. It was named after the beautiful southern French town of Les Baux, where it was first discovered.
