Lovely rare strand with 19 old tibetan mantra beads from India. Strand is ca. 28cm long, totally 19 beads that measure ca. 16x13mm, weight is ca. 67 gram. I quired this strand ca. 1999 from a tibetan trader in India. They are most likely made from carnelian or agate. Very nice carving work with the white mantra symbols standing out
