Contains gold, but in a low proportion. Lightly cleaned to remove oxidized patina. The beads appear bright yellow when photographed, but will oxidize and darken over time if not polished. The largest beads have an average diameter between 1.1-1.2cm. This type of prayer bead-style charm bead was typically part of a 108-bead string placed within a pagoda... Due to the humid pagoda environment, the original cords have oxidized and disintegrated... During the crafting of Dalong Charm Beads, cinnabar was added and smelted together. Possessing a very strong magnetic field, they can suppress ghosts and other yin entities. They are excellent protective, barrier, and lucky amulets... Also often used for foundations and creating spiritual boundaries... Nowadays, some use them for spiritual cultivation, meditation, placing in home altars, or in cars... to improve Feng Shui and the magnetic field. ************************** Myanmar is a country that strictly controls the export of cultural artifacts.
