Burmese Tiger Stripe Wood Beads. Daron Spell Beads Bracelet (Length 19cm. Inner Diameter 15.5cm)

A bracelet strung with ancient beads of two different materials. 1- Six Burmese Tiger Stripe Wood Beads. Acquisition origin from an antique dealer: Due to the civil war in Myanmar, local people in Mandalay were in financial difficulty in 2023. They brought ancestral artifacts to antique brokers in exchange for money to survive... The material is petrified wood, with a hard texture, impervious to knives. Under UV light, the white linear patterns exhibit fluorescence. What's particularly special about these wood beads is that the white inlaid patterns... are a result of a second coloring process. These are not the 3rd generation wood beads made in 1940... However, they are clearly aged beads with a history. Old items are difficult to find... When retailed in Taiwan after the merchant returned, each bead was priced at NT$1,000... 2- Eighteen small Daron Spell Beads from a collapsed pagoda in Mandalay, Myanmar. Dating based on artifacts unearthed alongside the pagoda. The year should be between the 18th-19th century. These are Daron Spell Beads in the form of prayer beads with drilled holes. Made of copper alloy, containing gold, but in a low proportion. The surface has been cleaned to remove oxidized patina. The beads appear bright yellow when photographed, but will oxidize and darken over time if not maintained. The small spell beads have a maximum average diameter between 0.9-0.95 cm. These prayer bead-style spell beads were typically part of a set of 108 beads placed in a pagoda... Due to the humid environment within the pagoda, the original strings have oxidized and disintegrated. The bracelet is 19cm in length, with an inner diameter of 15.5cm. It is a unique sacred artifact imbued with religious blessings. During the refinement of Daron Spell Beads, cinnabar is added and melted together. Possessing an extremely strong magnetic field, they can suppress malevolent spirits and other negative entities. They serve as excellent protective, barrier... and lucky amulet items. They are also commonly used for consecration and creating barriers... Currently, some people use them for spiritual cultivation and meditation, or place them in altars, cars... to enhance feng shui and magnetic fields.
