Item Details
Description
This distinctive amulet bead from the Late Pyu Era of Myanmar, dating back to between the 5th and 9th centuries, is carved to resemble a conch shell, a symbol often associated with spiritual and religious significance in many Asian cultures. The bead is crafted from a pale green stone, potentially serpentine or jade, materials commonly used during the Pyu period for their aesthetic and durable qualities. Its spiral and grooved design not only mimics the natural form of a conch but also represents the intricate artistry of the Pyu civilization. This piece's historical and cultural value makes it a unique addition to any collection of ancient artifacts.
