have some trouble to
work and search as I would like these days ; among these
difficulties, both
librairies of the Sorbonne and the Collège de France are
removing... 3 hours
lost/wasted. I went to the Institut du Monde arabe in order to
find some spacers for
you. Maybe you can reach <i>Traditional Jewelry of India</i>,
Thames and Hudson
ed., several editions. Two very fine examples from Nagaland p.
66-67, one with
8 holes, another with 8 and 11.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I want to stress is
that the width of spacers is very commonly the same as the
diameter of beads ;
easy to understand : it would be unsuitable to have them on the
skin protruding
as rails of railway : it must be as in a level crossing (U. S.
grade crossing).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

p. 84 of the joint pdf,
kindly sent by Simon Davis, you have a an example of spacer made
of vulture
ulna (why not bearded <i>Gypaetus barbatus</i>, as very usual
for pastoral
flutes in recent Greece ?). You could imagine that the beads
themselves were
made out of the same kind on bone - the same diameter, I mean -
but there is
not enough bones for that in the skeleton.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

largest side of bone
wear the carving, the opposite was hidden, laying on the
skin/body or things
like that ; there is a rather strong tendancy in islamic/arabic
tradition
to/for "osteoglyphy"/"osteography" (writing, carving of
bones, I don't enter the details).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

piece is broken both
on a hole and one of the semi-annular groves (not very young
people may remember
the medicinal ampoules of glass and the little saw to open
them...). You may
imagine with few risks that it went further at least for another
hole (half + one). There is
an idea of symmetry, reasonnably moderated by the lesser
development/witdth at
this end.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
