Burmese Carnelian Ancient Beads Necklace (53.5 cm length)

The main bead features an unknown geometric pattern.

Paired with 16 ancient carnelian beads featuring lucky star patterns, tiger stripes, and star-spotted tiger stripes. The spacer beads are 18 ancient carnelian beads arranged in a single line. All the above ancient beads, referencing the resource book **Ancient Beads and Jewellery of Myanmar**, are likely unearthed from Myanmar. They exhibit characteristics of burial, such as crackles, penetration fissures, fish scale patterns, red patina, and erosion holes. The bead chain measures 53.5 cm in length. With the addition of a W-clasp at both ends, it can also be worn as a Buddhist amulet chain. ************************ Etched ancient beads originally held significant religious and protective meanings and purposes. During challenging times, wearing protective ancient beads can help regulate one's energy field and enhance fortune. By regularly reciting sutras, chanting mantras, practicing acts of charity, and releasing captive animals, one naturally averts misfortune and welcomes good fortune.
