SHAPES OF BEADS—Cylindrical beads of varying lengths from long thin specimens to very short ones are common, some of them tipped at both ends with gold. Beads of cog-wheel type of thin discoid shape made of glazed paste have been found. Short barely-shaped (yava-madhyaka) and long barrel-shaped beads (harītakī-madhyaka) were popular. Other shapes included the rectangular and segmented beads (Hindi garerīnumā).
