Vintage Chung Dzi Agate Bead, Peach Color
This vintage authentic Chung Dzi bead has white striped banding on this lovely peach colored agate bead. Handmade about 50 years ago, this is a replica of an ancient chung dzi bead, a Himalayan sacred protective bead. These have applied banding through a complex process and are highly collectible. This tapered bead measures 15mm diameter x 59mm long with a nice 2mm hole for thicker cord. With some translucence, very smooth to the touch, a fine copy of an ancient bead. Beautiful and in excellent condition!
