Hi Hendrik,

It's a beautiful bead. Where is the repair?

The black is very dense, isn't it? But i think it could well be authentic. Here's a photo I took of a pendant with a similar technique that was in a special exhibit in the Bangkok National Museum this past summer. Apparently, it was found at Ban Don Tha Pet, so if that is the case it was probably made originally in South Asia. Later, I had the opportunity to take it out of the cabinet and fondle it, watched by a nervous curator!

Best,

Will
