Lot of three 'sword' amulet hangers made of carnelian, originating from the historical region of Taxila (in present-day India/Pakistan) c. 4th.-1st. cent. BC
These distinctive artifacts, often referred to as "sword beads" or amulet beads, were typically crafted from semi-precious stones like carnelian or agate during the rich Gandhara civilization. The sword shape is believed to have carried protective or magical symbolism, worn as an amulet to ward off misfortune or to bring strength.
The warm, orange-red hue is classic for high-quality carnelian, which was extensively traded and worked in ancient South Asia.
Each bead is carefully hand-carved and drilled at the top using ancient boring techniques, allowing it to be strung on a cord or integrated into a necklace.
Bead types from this region are documented in standard archaeological references on ancient beads, such as Horace Beck's classic studies on the finds from Taxila.
Size: 14-16,5 mm. each.
Condition: Two intact with loops, one with loop lost and drilled through the body in antiquity.
