Rare strand with nine ancient carnelian melon beads from India. Beads are graduated from largest bead ca. 24x18mm down to ca. 15x11mm for the smalles bead. I aquired these beads twenty years ago in India from a tibetan trader. Stunning patina and color but also small damages due to antiquity. Probably ancient but unknown age
