West Asian Carnelian. Square Slab Bead Bracelet (Wrist Circumference 16cm)

West Asian Carnelian・Plain Square Slab Bead Bracelet 9 slab beads, preserving the quiet texture of buried ancient beads. This bracelet is composed of 9 square slab beads made from West Asian Carnelian. These are unearthed, buried ancient beads, classified within the West Asian bead lineage, commonly sourced from regions including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and northern Myanmar. This set of slab beads is in a plain, unadorned form, without distinct etched patterns. The focus is instead on the Carnelian's inherent color, material texture, and signs of age. The square slab beads create a neat and stable arrangement. Compared to patterned beads, plain slab beads are more understated, and better showcase the original, clean texture of ancient beads. The bead bodies exhibit characteristics of burial, such as gray patina, shrinkage lines, and surface cracks. These marks are the result of natural changes from prolonged burial, giving each bead a unique expression of time. The overall style is low-key and rustic, suitable for collectors and wearers who appreciate West Asian ancient beads, Carnelian material, or prefer understated, unpretentious bracelets. Wrist circumference approximately 16cm. 4800-115.07.02
