Ancient Egyptian and Himalayan Agate Beads, 2nd Millennium BC – 1st Millennium AD

Item Details

Description

This lot comprises three beads of varying sizes, ranging from 9 to 15 mm, each crafted from agate. They represent two remarkable and distant cultures: ancient Egypt and the Himalayas, with an age ranging from the 2nd millennium BC to the 1st millennium AD. These beads exemplify the ancient tradition of using agate for its beauty and supposed protective properties. The Egyptian beads were often incorporated into jewelry that carried amuletic significance, believed to protect the wearer in life and after death. The Himalayan bead reflects the region's spiritual beliefs and practices, where such items are commonly used in meditation and healing rituals. This collection symbolizes the cross-cultural appreciation of agate and its enduring legacy as a material of significance. Perfect for collectors interested in ancient gemstones, these beads are a tangible connection to the spiritual life of past civilizations.
