Vintage Chung Dzi Agate Bead camel bone each bead is approximately 12mmThis vintage authentic Chung Dzi bead has white striped banding on this 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 very collectible. This tapered bead measures 12mm diameter x 58mm long with a nice 2mm hole for thicker cord. With some translucence, very smooth to the touch, a fine copy of an ancient bead.
