Baktrien Antike Halskette – Knochen (Ohne mindestpreis)

• Bactrian and BMAC (Oxus Civilization, roughly late 3rd–early 2nd millennium BC, with later local traditions continuing) necklaces commonly use stone, shell, bone, limestone/alabaster-like materials, agate, and similar organic or soft-stone beads. Market and published examples frequently show mixed strands of irregular, barrel, conical, and shaped beads from these regions (e.g., comparable pieces noted from Gonur and related contexts).
• Large crescent or tusk-like elements (bone, ivory, or carved soft stone) and mixed bead strands with small spacers appear in Central Asian personal adornment. Bone and shell were long used there for necklaces and amulets.
• The overall look—cream/ivory-colored organic or soft-stone beads of varied simple shapes, including prominent crescents, strung with small white spacers—aligns with the kinds of bead necklaces routinely attributed to Bactria in collections and auctions. Separation beads are modern.
