Striped Agate Bead from China-Tibet
Extra quality antique banded agate. This type of bead can be found in the Himalayan regions, like this one, but also in the Persian area.
Ancient, a very fine usage patina. Wear signs appropriate to the age, and an unusual not perfect round finishing.
This bead could be dated to the TANG Dynasty (618CE – 907CE). Any other suggestions are welcome!
