Wow Nisheda! That string of Bhaisajyaguru beads is absolutely second to none! Danny/Lopacki that handful of Bactrian beauties is quite a handful, and nice eyes! Amazing, I have spent ages just looking at those photos and I am humbled that such fanfare greets my arrival on the forum...Thank you.
My beads are pretty modest but I love them each one has a story and a place in my life.
I'll try to post a photo on the forum here and see if I can make it work.
I believe this is possibly an Indus bead, it came my way in Nepal in the early nineties. It has the eye of the Swayambhunath temple on it, as well as several other eyes, and it continues to protect its owners across the centuries to this day! 48mm long. At one point I think it was larger but it has lots of end wear since the break. The stringing hole is 5mm at one end and 3mm at the other, it is polished the whole length to a high gloss.
