In this lot is a collection of eight Russian multi-faceted trade beads. The beads are an oblong style with hand cut facets. Five of the beads are an incredible cobalt blue; two are blood red and one is clear. The largest is 1 1/2" long X 5/8" wide; the smallest is 1 1/4" X 1/2". The red beads have minor damage to the ends; the other beads have very minor damage as expected with their age of over 200 years old.
