9-Eyed Ancient Anatolian Calcified 'Chicken Bone White' Bead

9-Eyed Ancient Anatolian Calcified 'Chicken Bone White' Bead | Unearthed Artifact 🦴👁 Excavated from the Anatolian bead lineage (Myanmar, Pakistan, Afghanistan) The entire body displays a "chicken bone white" calcified phenomenon, with a dry, cracked, weathered, and mottled texture. The bead was originally dyed black, but through the baptism of time within the earth, the black has faded to red, transforming into its unique appearance. 📍 The nine-eyed totem is one of the ancient protective auspicious symbols. 📍 There is chipping on one end, a common condition for unearthed old beads. 📍 Suitable for both wearing and collecting. Old beads are imperfect, yet they are most authentic. Perhaps it is precisely this vicissitude experienced through the years that makes them more worthy of reverence and wear. 1000-114.09.01
