You can also see these beads in my Plate III, lower left.

They do not have specific names, as far as I know. One could ask an interested Tibetan for his/her opinion or knowledge.

It is my opinion that some of these beads MAY BE late reproductions. I have seen specimens that are so well-conserved and new-looking, my skeptical side thinks it should be considered that some are reproductions. I own one of these beads, and it's in the photo.

Hello Jamey

Any idea of material?? Any idea of age??

One day in hand, you will see the great wear on the ends.

Pictures are only so good.

Again I respect your opinion
sincerely from Walter
