ANCIENT STRIPED CHUNG dZI
For these types of beads
I have chosen the Tibetan term DZI.
The agate
material, size and decoration is different from the Indian ecthed beads.
The Tibetan Buddhist
regions of the Himalayas had their own bead making tradition, which in
many ways marks an artistic
peak like the one we can observe in the
late Indus period. This
peak in bead making might very well have been before the arrival of
Buddhism and hence connected with the belief systems in the previous
more animistic and shamanistic
Bön religion.

I have
deliberately scanned the beads so that the scars and imperfections in
the agate are amplified. In normal daylight and without the Photoshop 'unsharp
mask' the beads look far more smooth and faultless.
In case you are interested in purchasing one of the beads, please ask
for more scans and photos of the particular bead you are interested in.
