Original Message: tircul gold

Lovely picture. Can you tell us more about them please? Where they were found? Are they all definitely Burmese, or might some of them be from India? And how do you separate out the authentic ones from the copies? Can you show some close-ups?
I prefer the name Tircul to Pyu, because it (or a sound like T'seul) was the name these people, who flourished in north-central Burma in the first millennium CE, called themselves. Pyu was the Chinese name for them and it was adopted by the Burmese who conquered and assimilated them.
Attached is a triangular bead (strung with little chank shell beads), with an elephant on one side, a chank shell on the second and an ox or buffalo on the third.
Cheers,
Will
