About Etched Carnelian Beads:

Era: 2500-1800 BCE

Originating from the Indus Valley Civilization, these carnelian beads were decorated with patterns using natron derived from plants, and baked at low temperatures of 300-400 degrees Celsius. Although similar beads have been unearthed in Mesopotamia and Afghanistan, it is believed that the ones created in the Indus River region were transported via land and sea routes.
