Ancient Suns

Rare, large double eyed bead from Afghanistan. 2000+ y/o. This bead would need to be examined by a gemologist, to determine whether it is a variety of serpentine or whether it is nephrite. The bead has been decorated with the carving of two eyes or dots on one face of the bead. This is a feature that I have seen one other time on a similar bead. It has very impressive, smooth, stringing hole wear. The bead has a subtle chip near one stringing hole end, otherwise it is in excellent condition.
