Afghan Tribal Arts: Booth 7007
Afghan Tribal Arts specializes in natural, hand carved beads made from semi-precious stones from Afghanistan. These beads support artisans and their families, many who were displaced during the war with Russia. Afghanistan is rich in minerals and bead lovers appreciate the depth and richness of color found in the many variations of lapis lazuli, jade, carnelian, onyx and many other stones. The inventory has also grown to include natural beads from other parts of Asia and Africa.
Beads are not the only treasures you will find at the show. Afghan Tribal Arts also has a huge collection of vintage and antique tribal and ethnic jewelry.
