Not interesting-object-related, but I am happy: at last a consistent strand of banded agate (aka bhaisajya guru) beads, being worn in a traditional way by someone other than a western collector! I was starting to think these beads were exclusive of the archaeological realm, but I see that is not the case... Now I believe many/most of similar beads dealers are offering as "ancient", and/or from "2nd., 1st. millenium B.C.", may be younger than said!
