ANCIENT NEOLITHIC FULLY PATINIZED SERPENTINE THICK TAPERED BEAD 23 BY 12.8 MM

Description

NEOLITHIC SUBSAHARAN REGION FULLY PATINIZED TAPERED SHAPED GREEN SERPENTINE BEAD. THIS BEAD IS A BEAUTIFULLY WORN ARTIFACT WITH A SUPER WEAR PATINA AND SKIN USAGE POLISH. NOTICE THE PINCH MARKS ON THE ENDINGS, THIS IS FROM BEING CINCHED TIGHTLY AS AN HEIRLOOMED HAIR ORNAMENT. THESE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE ANCIENT BEADS BECAUSE OF THE WEAR PATINA  AND THE HIGH LEVEL OF SKILLS EMPLOYED TO CREATE THESE TYPE OF ARTIFACTS OUT OF SURFACE FOUND CRYSTALS AND STONES THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.
