19th century Tibetan men’s saddle. Decorated in iron meander patterned brackets and fittings with sharkskin covering front and back. The front and back are also made with a hardwood, called “saddle wood”,(appropriately enough), by Tibetans and is highly prized and very expensive to have a saddle made with this wood today, unfortunately I do not know the botanical or English name.

Very long gray agate/chalcedony cylinder bead, circa 2nd century AD excavated in Cambodia. This piece is very difficult to photograph to show it to its best advantage as it has a subtle “chiaroscuro” quality when viewed through light. There is chipping at both ends, it was bored both sides where the holes met in the middle. At 9.5cm/3.8in length it is extremely rare to find a bead like this unbroken.
