Burmese Dragon Motif Ancient Bead

Burmese Dragon Motif Ancient Bead | A Mystical Amulet from the Stupa Grounds 🐉 Unearthed from Myanmar, this ancient bead bears the marks of time, its surface weathered and textured. The motif depicts a dragon coiled in a dynamic, serpentine form, rich with mythical resonance. It features drilled holes at both ends, one of which cleverly utilizes a natural crystalline eye, a characteristic technique seen in ancient beads. 📍 The unique, irregular shape of this bead is rare, having once been mistaken for depictions of mythological figures like Fuxi and Nuwa with serpentine bodies and human heads. 📍 According to bead merchants, these motif beads first appeared from Southern Thailand and were later discovered in Myanmar during stupa excavations. 📍 The design of the motif echoes the Naga serpent mythology of Myanmar, carrying connotations of protection and spiritual devotion. ✨ Ideal for personal talismans, collection, and meditative offerings. 3000-114.09.01
