A few beads of carnelian and agate are etched. The two common patterns are: (a) pentagonal design with dots all over the body, and (b) elongated loops at alternate intervals within zonal bands at the margin. Besides these, thirty-three new types, beads having flat square-biconical sides with diagonal perforation, faceted decagonal with perforation near the tapering end, and long corrugated barrel elliptical, need special mention.
