Offered in this lot is a collection of rare black and "Yellow Jacket" chevron beads. The first group of beads includes four "Yellow Jacket" chevron beads. These beads are 7/8" to 1" long and 1/4" to 3/8" wide. Three of these beads are white, red, white, black, and yellow. The fourth bead is red, white, black, and yellow. The next three beads are a rare color of yellow, black, yellow, red, yellow, and black. These beads are 5/8" long X 3/8" at the widest point. The next bead is a unique six-layer, black and white color only, chevron bead. This bead has a high shine and measures 1" X 1/2". The next group includes white, red, white, and black chevron beads. The largest of these twelve beads measures 5/8" X 1/2"; the smallest bead is 1/4" X 1/8". The next four beads are red, white, and black and measure 3/4" X 1/4". One of these beads has a chip. The next group is white, red, white, and black. These beads are 1/2" round, 1/2" X 5/8, 3/4" X 1/4", 3/8" X 1/4", 1/2" X 1/4" and 1/4" X 1/4". The next bead is a single white, black, red, white, black bead that has only been carved down to show the color layers on the ends. This bead is 1" X 3/4". The last group of beads consists of eight pieces of 3/8" cane in 1/2" to 1" length. These white, red, white, black pieces are unique because they have not been carved to show the layers, unless you are looking at the ends. These beads vary in condition from very good to fine.
