Description

Vintage Peach Pit Carved Faces Beads Necklace, Full Set Hedaio Tibetian Immortals
18 Lohan Arhat Faces and 1 Buddha and 1 decorative.
Joinded together with a green string.
I purchased these from Chinese merchants in New Orleans in the early 1980's and
have had them wrapped in cotton cloth in a suitcase all these decades.
In a smoke free home....
I do not know exactly their true origin, city, or monastery...
The words and information presented here is from research on-line.
The beads are approximately 1 1/4 inches long, with a hole thru.
A few have slight cracks, but all in strong solid condition.
Great ear and facial expression details on all.
The backs are mostly smooth, except for the 2 closest to the top
decorative bead...
these have long straight hair detail in the back. (see photos)
Thank you for looking,
I sell and ship within mainland USA only,
