Burmese 3-line Rainbow Round Beads with Tiger-Pattern Ancient Beads Necklace (61cm length)

Ancient beads unearthed in Myanmar. The main beads feature the common zigzag pattern, also known in the industry as lightning patterns. The maximum diameter of the beads is 1.65 cm. Paired with 12 beads that have patterns resembling a tiger's tail, referred to by collectors as tiger-pattern tube beads, used as accent beads. They exhibit agate iridescence, crackled patterns, surface cracks, internal weathering, shrunken leather-like textures, etched holes, and calcification/dehydration of white etched lines, all characteristic of burial. The beaded necklace is 61 cm long. Recently, we saw a video online from mainland China featuring a very wealthy ancient bead collector who spent nearly NT$1.7 million to purchase a large-sized rainbow round bead, approximately 2.4 cm in diameter, from Thailand. This truly astonished us Taiwanese dealers... If people from mainland China continue to acquire them at such high prices, the outcome will be the same as with old Tibetan Dzi beads... All ancient beads from Southeast Asia will soon be heading to mainland China! ************************ Etched ancient beads originally held significant religious protective meaning and purpose. During challenging times, wearing old protective beads can help regulate one's energy field and enhance fortune. In daily life, practicing chanting, charity, and releasing captive animals will naturally lead to turning misfortune into good fortune.
