A lovely ancient stone bead with six stripes. This design is seen with beads from India and Burma. This bead came from a strand mixed with ancient Pumtek. It displays very deep end wear which happens from rubbing against other beads over many hundreds of years. Very dZi-like!
This bead has remained in a private collection since the 1980s
Condition: Very good with minor weathering commensurate with age.
Origin: Burma, Pyu Tircul
