Original Message: Another comparison and thoughts... |
---|
Hi Lee, Just looking at the picture one would tend to believe that the bead is likely a Pyu-Tircul early etched bead. It is very similar to some that I have, one with the stripes on the end and one without. The etching looks very good to me, I would say it is ancient at first glance. What concerns me though is the large size. The only similar Pyu-Tircul beads I have seen are about half that size. The ones in my pictures below are about 6 x 16 mm in size. Beautiful bead though. I would say that you must be certain of trust in your seller and consider the price. Happy collecting, Jan Skipper, Mosquitobay All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
