Years ago I met a group of Indian archeologists in my shop. They asked me to see if there is any old beads , in that time I had many strands of this kind of Carnelian. It was first time I heard the name ladakh. All were conforming these are ladakh made and showed me some photos from local museums. But I think bead researchers papers would be also good source. I am now just drowned in the buty of these beads.

Best regards
