Burmese Crossed-Mandala Sun Pattern Carnelian Ancient Beads

These are ancient carnelian beads unearthed in Myanmar. They belong to the Pyu to Samon period. The beads are slightly octagonal in shape. They feature the common Crossed-Mandala motif, along with lightning patterns symbolizing lightning, or sun patterns representing sun rays. This motif is speculated to be a sun pattern. Crafted from carnelian, a large crystal inclusion is present. The entire bead has undergone subterranean transformation, showing signs of greyish mineralization, scale-like patterns, earth erosion, and pitting characteristic of buried artifacts. ************************ Ancient beads originally held significant religious and protective meaning. During challenging times, wearing an old protective bead can help regulate your energy field and enhance your fortune. Regularly chanting scriptures, practicing charity, and releasing living beings will naturally turn misfortune into good luck.
