ANCIENT STRIPED CHUNG dZI
For these types of beads I have chosen the Tibetan term Chung 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.

ALMOST ALL BEADS DISPLAYED ON THIS PAGE ARE SOLD - ONLY A VERY FEW LEFT.
IN CASE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING THE LAST, I CAN SEND YOU A PHOTO.
