Vintage Embossed Bicone Bead with Dangles Tribal Finding (#8807)

Description

Amazing Afghan or Pakistani bicone bead with jingling dangles and an embossed geometric flower-like pattern. There are four bails with flower accents. The bead is about 2.25" 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. The hole openings are about 7mm 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.
