    The book he shows is a great one, "The History of Beads: From 30, 000 B.C. to the Present" by Lois Sherr. He definitely knows beads very well and, I'm sure, the collector values of ancient beads. I appreciate his knowledge, experience and devotion!

    As a jewelry maker, I appreciate his passion and love for these beads. I LOVE African beads.(I don't know much about the different types from each country, so I simply know them as African.) I love that this heritage has been preserved so beautifully, which isn't easy in this modern world.

  • @SarahStephanieLandry
    @SarahStephanieLandry 5 років тому +17

    Thanks for this- what an amazing bead historian he is! The reference book at the end (The History of Beads by Lois Sherr Dubin) is one of my favourites, and I've gone through it several times, but have never seen the beads featured in the timeline in someone's hand life this before. Fascinating to see the scale of these rare, ancient little pieces of art.

    Mr. Mohammed, are you in Tamale by any chance? I feel as though I met you many years ago in the market there. I remember seeing that first ancient bead you showed, the 7 layer bead. If it was really you, I am so happy to see you thriving and still doing business to this day. I still have the beads I bought there and I treasure them. I cannot remember if I bought any beads from you, if not I regret that decision! The year was 2000 when I was there.
