Description: Kushan Empire 23mm Oval Agate Bead with Stripes - Rare, Historical Gemstone Step into history with this exquisite 23mm oval agate bead from the Kushan Empire. Originating between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE, this bead is a relic of an era known for its artistic sophistication and pivotal role in the Silk Road trade. The Kushans, ruling over regions now known as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India, were master artisans. This bead, carefully shaped and polished, features a distinctive oval form and subtle stripes. The creation process involved selecting high-quality agate, precise shaping, drilling, and polishing to achieve its smooth, glossy finish. The 23mm oval agate bead you see in the images is a remarkable example of this ancient craft. The bead exhibits a delicate interplay of earthy tones, with subtle stripes adding depth and character. Each side of the bead tells its own story, with natural imperfections that highlight its authenticity and historical journey. Pictures may be enlarged to show details, imperfections, or chips if any.
