These etched carnelians are very important cultural items. Are they from Mohenjo Doro or from the Islamic period? It is hard to tell in a photograph because I cannot see the bead hole or feel for patina.
Thanks, Amir for posting this.
Anna Madam, You are right.These carnelians are from Mohenjo Doro.I have got some more pics of beads,I hope you like them as well.Will soon post them.Thank you for your precious comments. :)
I don'tknow anything of Mohenjo Doro, but it reminds me of an old Sumer necklace I have seen once in an exhibition. Lovely!
How perceptive of you. By 3,500 BC, the trade routes were connecting materials and methods from Mesopotamia to Turkey and thence to parts of Europe. So anything this beautiful got spread around ;)
Love these connections, so interesting, they make the world go round.
