Antique Ming Dynasty Tibetan Elongated Dzi Bead Amulet, 1368-1644 AD

Item Details

Description

This banded agate dzi bead, measuring 40 mm by 8 mm (approximately 1.57 inches by 0.31 inches), is a superb example of Tibetan amulets from the Ming Dynasty period. Dzi beads are highly valued in Tibetan culture for their protective qualities and aesthetic appeal. The elongated form and the natural pattern of the agate combine to create a piece that is both visually striking and historically significant. Revered for centuries, dzi beads are believed to bring prosperity and ward off evil, making them coveted items for collectors of Asian antiques and cultural artifacts. This particular bead, with its well-defined banding and smooth finish, exemplifies the ancient art of dzi bead crafting that continues to intrigue and fascinate to this day.
