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.

Rare Green Tara - Nephrite Jade

SOLD OUT!
A super rare Green Tara statue that has been hand carved from nephrite jade. The stone is a vibrant translucent green. The statue is a replica of a known antique statue that belonged to the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa. Each piece is very well carved and they have been cherry picked for their quality. Each piece depicts the female Buddha sitting on a double lotus base. Her right palm is in the mudra of supreme generosity. We feel they are perfect for a small shrine or gau. She also makes a perfect travel companion. Only a small amount of these statues were made and they will not be repeated.
