High status beja Kaskara

Jack,

The tassel still looks off-spec to me. Also, purple doesn't seem to be in the Beja's palette.

Attached are a couple of pics that show tassels of different ages and the details of the wrap and braid.

Regards,
Ed

I suspect chrysoprase (found in Tanzania) rather than jade which is more typically east asia or mezoamerica

Yes can see what you mean with the difference but the tassle on this clearly has been on it for some time to completely fade the colour like it has. Any idea why its on there or tribe if not beja?

The stone? / glass has bubbles in it?
