Vintage Tribal Bicone Bead with Dangles Embossed Flowers (#8805)

Description

Amazing Afghan or Pakistani bicone bead with jingling dangles and an unusual embossed flower pattern that has faded from many years of use. There are three bails with flower accents. The bead is about 2" wide by 1.5" long. This could be from the Nuristan region of Afghanistan, but may be from Kohistan, Pakistan, I am not positive about the origins. The metal color is neither distinctly silver nor golden but lays somewhere in between. There is visible oxidation and some indentations visible. The hole openings are about 6mm across. This is a vintage item from a tribal culture - it has signs of age and use which I've tried to make visible.
Different monitors and phone apps show colors differently. I do my best to accurately document color using both photos and written descriptions. If you have any questions, please send me a message.
