    Good day
    I got this last weekend from charity shop. After some research I identified it as a 17 bead Greek style Komboloi. The marble bakelite beads weigh around 10 grams each and are 25mm long and 18mm in diameter.
    Could these beads started out as African Trade beads or would they have been Greek worry beads from the start?
    Groete
