Ancient Turquoise beads from the Bactrian area of northern Afghanistan
16-inch strand of 2-3mm heishi with small, flat rectangular beads about 6x6mm and a few tiny ovals/tubes
The unusual axe-blade shaped pendant seems to be made or a harder stone, possibly agate
Assembled from beads found in the Bactrian area of northern Afghanistan, these beads are among the types widely traded to the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia and Egypt between 1000 and 3000 BCE
I like to follow the ancient style, combining these with small ancient carnelians and gold
