Description
These exquisite agate bead amulets, hailing from the Tibetan regions under the Chinese Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368 AD), reflect the rich cultural exchange and artistry of the era. Measuring between 28x8 mm, these beads exhibit the mastery of ancient lapidary work, with their deep hues and layered banding evocative of the vast Tibetan landscape. The varied shapes and sizes within this lot suggest a diverse array of uses, potentially signifying rank or spiritual significance. Revered for their beauty as well as their supposed protective qualities, such beads were often treasured by their owners and passed down through generations. Today, they offer a tangible connection to the spiritual life and material culture of an epoch where craftsmanship was intertwined with devotion. Collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate the opportunity to acquire such well-preserved artifacts, which are not only visually striking but also bear witness to the historical depths of the Himalayan region.
