A nice string of reasonably well matched blacks with white stripes.  
We should appreciate the skill and precision involved in accurately
spacing ten or stripes with dry powder inside a mold.  As many as
twenty stripes have been observed on some specimens (see No. 3).  
Some are "ne-aki" (twisted), an effect achieved while the beads are still
hot in the molds.  This string, on cotton, would be typical regalia.
Longer and thinner blacks with white stripes.
Some light green examples.  White-over-black stripes.  Such compound stripes
remind us of certain layered drawn beads (other than chevrons) that the
Krobos call "obuo-so" (top of the stone)
Some very small yellows with rust, green, and black stripes.  The precision
is notable, as is the carefully biased ends.
