Ancient Persian Indo Himalayan Banded Agate Spacer Beads, 1st Century B.C.–4th Century A.D.

Item Details

Description

This lot features (7) seven banded agate spacer beads from the Parthian to Roman period, a time spanning the 1st century B.C. to the 4th century A.D. These beads, ranging in size from 9 to 14 mm, are emblematic of the jewelry-making prowess of ancient civilizations. Banded agate was treasured for its aesthetic appeal and supposed protective qualities. Each bead in this collection is a marvel of natural patterning, with bands of earthy tones that might have been chosen for both their beauty and amuletic properties. Such beads would have adorned the garments and accessories of their owners, adding elegance and perhaps a layer of spiritual significance to their attire.
