Description
A PYU KINGDOM / KUSHAN ETCHED LINE DECORATED ORANGE AND WHITE 3 BANDED ROUND AGATE PATTERN IN A ROUND SHAPE. NOTE THE WEATHERED AND SMOOTHLY WORN SURFACE PATINA. THIS BEAD REQUIRED SOME ADVANCED ANCIENT CHEMISTRY. FROM A PRIVATELY HELD COLLECTION AND RECENTLY OUT OF STORAGE AFTER 25 YEARS. THIS REGION [ SOUTH EAST ASIA ] HAS AN OUTSTANDING ANCIENT BEAD HISTORY WITH MANY CULTURES OCCUPYING THE SAME OR NEIGHBORING AREAS THROUGH OUT THE LAST 2500 YEARS OR MORE. I WILL BE GOING INTO SEVERAL DIFFERENT CULTURES AND TIME PERIODS DURING THIS COMING EBAY AUCTION YEAR. THESE AGATE BEADS ARE VERY HARD [ harness number is 6.5 ] AND YET THEY WERE POLISHED AND DRILLED BY HAND. THESE BEADS REQUIRED A VERY A HI-TECH FABRICATION TECHNIQUE WITH MANY REQUIRED STEPS TO COMPLETE. ZERO [0] FEEDBACK EBAY MEMBERS NEED MY PERMISSON PRIOR TO AUCTION ENGAGEMENT. DOMESTIC BUYERS WITH COMBINED SALES OF 100$ OR MORE [ PER MAILING ] DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANY POSTAL OR TRACKING CHARGES. A GREAT BEAD ARTIFACT FROM THE ANCIENT PYU CULTURE OF BURMA.
