It's been a while since we had a new bead on our first page. This is two views of a very small multi-metal ojime from Japan. The two figures are placed back-to-back. While it is mainly silver, there is some amazing detail work in gold, copper, and bronze. Note the patterns on their kimono sleeves. From a private collection.

This is one of four Yahoo Groups moderated by Jamey Allen and devoted to beads. Please also consider joining: Trade Bead Talk, Amber Forever, and Tibetan Zi Beads for specific areas of collecting. Links to these Groups can be found here.
