Set of 5 vintage Chinese carved bovine bone 3-hole Shou coin beads, 34mm. These large beads are wonderfully carved. They look like pillows because of the incised texture in the middle of each bead. On one side is the Shou symbol, on the other a Chinese character. One of them is slightly damaged.I travel frequently between San Francisco and Amsterdam, Netherlands, soitem will be sent from wherever I am when the auction closes. Nevertheless, the shipping cost... is the same. It will take about 2 weeksafter payment is received for item to arrive if it's sent from Amsterdam. For deliveries to China and France, due to so many lost or stolen packages, theshipping cost will be $20, which includes track and trace. This price isless than my cost. If this is not acceptable, please refrain frombidding. And if you do bid and win, please don't leave negative feedbackabout the delivery time and cost.
