  Ancient Bactrian Glass Bead 24.5mm x 21mm. Was found in Uzbekistan. There are no repairs.  This glass bead  shows a beautiful original patina and wear. Expected corrosion and wear are a consequence of age and extended burial.

Good condition for this age

 

=============================================================================

I’m collecting ancient beads from 1979. Most of my beads were found in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. To be precise they were found between Mary city (Turkmenistan) and Samarkand (Uzbekistan). That area in past was called Bactria. Nowadays there are a lot of ruins older than 2000 years in this region.

 I like ancient beads very much and want that other collectors will be able to obtain them without paying a lot of money. That is why my prices are very modest.

I lived in Asgabat city (the capital of Turkmenistan) over 30 years. About 15 km from Asgabat there is Nisa – former residence of Alexander the Great,and capital of Parthia.

In most cases the ancient beads, not only played the role of jewelry but also the status of the person wearing them. You were able to tell the social status of an individual based on the beads they were wearing, while other used these beads as talismans protecting themselves against bad luck and the evil eye.

Certain beads that have zigzagging lines are supposed to confuse the evil eye which would get lost in these lines, Beads that have the image of an eye try to just absorb the evil energy, and thus protect the person who is wearing them. Periodically the beads would be washed in salt water, because it is believe the salt water kills the negative energy. The image of the eye was sometimes very abstract and was more like an image of a flower, however sometimes the beads would correctly reflect the wearers eyes, including the color.

Unpaid items will be automaticly relisted after 21 days.

THIS ISLAMIC MOSAIC GLASS BEAD  IS 100% GENUINE.
