Ruyi 2-Eye. Sherpa Bead Bracelet (17cm length)

The main bead is a dehydrated, calcified Ruyi 2-eye old bead. Originating from Nepal. It is the most common motif found on old Tibetan Dzi beads. This old bead closely resembles a Tibetan Dzi bead. Many dealers in the industry would sell it as a Tibetan Dzi bead at a high price. However, strictly speaking, it belongs to West Asian old beads, not Tibetan Dzi beads. About 30 years ago, I met an antique dealer in Taipei who frequently traveled to Nepal. I saw a similar calcified, dehydrated "Heaven and Earth" motif bead, smaller than this one, with a crack on the side. The seller at the time was asking for 2500 NT dollars... 2500 NT dollars over 30 years ago... If it weren't for that crack, I would have bought it on the spot... After going back, I thought about it for a few days and regretted not buying it... The old bead exhibits characteristics of being buried, such as dehydration, calcification, shrinkage lines, skin cracks, and reddish-brown iron staining. The spacer beads are a vibrant, blood-red color. These are antique Sherpa beads, over a hundred years old. The bracelet measures 17cm in length. ********************** Etched old beads originally held significant religious protective meaning and purpose. During challenging times, wearing old protective beads can help regulate your energy field and enhance your fortune. By regularly reciting scriptures, chanting mantras, practicing charity, and releasing captive animals, you will naturally avert misfortune and embrace good fortune.
