This ancient carnelian bead originates from the Gilgit region and dates back to approximately 200 AD during the Gandhara period. Its deep red-orange hue showcases the natural beauty of carnelian, while the smooth, polished sphere reflects the craftsmanship of early artisans. A rare collectible, this bead is remarkably well-preserved and is strung on an adjustable black nylon cord for display or wear.
