Large Bow Shaped Stone Bead
|
|
Our Price: £295.00
|
|
|
A superb bow shaped stone bead of rare appearance and size. The bead has been crafted from stone (possibly chlorite schist) and displays a band of quartz. This bead is in perfect condition. It was originally purchased strung with ancient Pyu beads. This is the only example of a bow shaped bead made from this material that we have seen. It is therefore difficult to say whether it is genuinely ancient. Large bow shaped agate beads have certainly been found in Burma and some may be well over 2000 years old. Whether this bead was originally from Burma or was traded from elsewhere is unknown. It is a very handsome one of a kind bead and would make a stunning focal bead on necklace.
