# Amulet

Large, long bicone bead of polished brown and white banded agate in two pieces, with a perforation drilled from either end that meets slightly off-centre in the middle. It is probably an amulet as it is allied in shape, form and material to Tibetan dZi beads.

- **Kind:** artefact
- **Date:** 1–99 CE
