AQUA-001

A very rare an unique large aquamarine pendant from the Pyu period. The gem has a hand drilled hole through the center to attach the gold rod. You can see in the photos, which I used back lighting to show the drilling, how painstakingly it must have been to drill through the gem. The surface of the gem has smooth carvings of a floral design on both sides. The gold is probably from a later date. Condition: perfect. Size: See last photo.
