A group of 10 lovely barrel shaped ancient Middle Eastern area banded agate stone beads found along the great trading route known as the "Silk Road", a wandering ever-changing group of roads and pathways for caravans and traders that has been used basically since early man figured out how to make more than what they needed to survive and began to trade with one another. It became known as the "Silk Road", after trade with China during the Han dynasty, introduced silk to the western peoples.
The condition of these beads is mostly good, showing great age and wear overall, about 4 to 6 mm in diameter and from 6 to 11 mm in length, dating from about the second to first millenium BC, more or less.
This nicely matched group of beads would make a fabulous necklace or bracelet project..
