Extremely rare large massive ancient islamic cube shaped jasper bead. Measurements are 23x23x13 or 19x19x13, weight is ca. 8 gram. I aquired this bead about 25 years ago in Chiang Mai from Ram from Yeti antiques. This bead comes out of the ancient islamic world and was made somewhere between 12-17th century. Its most likely a dark green/black type of jasper with fine orange veins. Wonderful bead, highly rare
