They also carry Hindu and Buddhist motifs. Furthermore, they incorporate cultural elements from Zoroastrianism and ancient Egyptian civilizations. To appreciate ancient beads, it is beneficial to consult extensive international resources (especially those from mainland China). This broadens one's perspective, preventing a narrow focus on a single area. *********************************** Ancient beads originally held significant religious amuletic meaning and purpose, especially during challenging times.
