Made in India around 1970/1980s as far as we can work out. These beads are at least 40 years old.
Even though these beads were made in India, we feel they were made for a specific market in another country or countries, as the standard of manufacture of these beads is exemplary. Traditionally, Indian beads have quite a rough and ready nature, and wood beads aren't something that I would associate with India.
