Extremely rare LARGE80mm Himalayas Antique Chung Chong Double Stripe Agate bead:
$65.00

A stunning large Chong dZi displaying four stripes. This particular type of Chong is most associated with the Himalayan regions and Tibet. Tibetans value this type more than the other decorated agates that were traded to Tibet from India in old times. The colour of the agate material, bead size and style of the decoration is clearly of a different quality to the Indian decorated agates. This may well suggest that there was a bead making industry unique to the Himalayan regions and distinct from other known bead making industries like we find in AsiaThese Himalayan beads have now become incredibly scarce and now seldom come into the marketplace for sale.
