A beautiful, multicolor natural banded agate bead talisman with Buddha's eye from the ancient Tibetan/Burmese culture.
Second Millennium AD or older .
In good condition. It has been cleaned in a tumbler, so they surfaces are shiny and smooth, but the nice antique patina is preserved. Original, ancient, hand cutting, carving, grinding and boring. The holes are ancient, hand-made, irregular. The holes have been over drilled with modern techniques to make the piece wearable when ancient holes obstructed. Traces of use - some small damages - and age on its surface.
Purchased mid 90's in London by Dr. Zelnik on the local art market.
