About Etched Carnelian:

Era: 2500 BCE to 1800 BCE

The etched carnelian beads originate from the Indus Valley Civilization. These beads were crafted by drawing patterns with a liquid derived from natron plants and then firing them at low temperatures of approximately 300 to 400 degrees Celsius. They have been unearthed in archaeological sites in Mesopotamia and Afghanistan, though it is believed they were originally made in the Indus River valley and transported via land and sea routes.
