About Javanese Beads (4th to 19th Century):

These beads, known as Javanese beads, are excavated from Java Island, Indonesia. They are often affectionately named based on their glass patterns, such as "Manik Sayur" for vegetable patterns, "Manik Tokke" for lizard patterns, and "Manik Burung" for bird patterns. The exact details regarding their age and place of production remain debated among researchers. This particular Javanese bead is an exceptionally rare large-sized specimen, with its dating still subject to scholarly interpretation.
