Lovely strand with five antique tibetan copper / brass repoussee beads with animal motifs. Repoussee beads measure ca. 37x15mm, weight of strand is ca. 38 gram. I aquired these beads in India from a tibetan trader. Five large repoussee beads on this strand, Center bead with two-animal motif, the other four beads have a large animal motif. At the end of the strand are ten hollow antique brass beads. Beads date most likely around mid of 20th Ct. or earlier
