Commonly known in the trade as "28-line" striped beads. Based purely on appearance and color, it strongly resembles ancient Burmese tri-colored etched beads. Circular eye pattern. In ancient times, round eye patterns served as magical defense circles, used to ward off evil and negative energies. Features ice cracks and calcification cracks, indicative of subterranean burial. Length 8.9 cm. Width 1.48 cm. Upon excavation, like most black and white beads, local bead merchants would further process and polish them to remove the outer layer of灰皮 (calcified skin). Therefore, distinct vertical polishing marks are often visible on the bead's surface. ************************* Ancient beads originally held profound religious and protective significance. During challenging times, wearing an old protective bead can help regulate your energy field and strengthen your fortune. In daily life, practicing mindfulness, chanting mantras, generosity, and releasing living beings will naturally guide you away from misfortune.
