Hi,Just wanted to share a few photos of Ethnic/Tribal necklaces from Bamiyan ,Afghanistan.I added the Turquoise beads for spacing only as I restrung these.These are the "Warring States Beads" or Dragonfly eye beads as commonly referred to.2500-3500 years old,or perhaps earlier.These were worn by the Buddhist Monks that lived in that area. I will send other photos at a later date,if that's ok!Regards,Clinton
