About Etched Carnelian Beads:

Era: 2500 BCE to 1800 BCE

The Etched Carnelian Beads originate from the Indus Valley Civilization. The intricate patterns were created using a natron solution obtained from plants and baked onto the carnelian beads at low temperatures of approximately 300 to 400 degrees Celsius. These beads have been unearthed from archaeological sites in Mesopotamia and Afghanistan, yet they are believed to have been produced in the Indus River region and transported via land and sea routes.
