Pre Khmer cylindrical bead

Striking banded agate bead from Cambodia, 5th-9th CE. Broken in the middle with contemporary” lost wax cast” silver repair. This may be hung on a chain and wore as a pendant- the hole through the bead is unobstructed, in case you want to run a string through it. Unusually long at L: 9.4cm/3.6in. Just think of the time and effort to shape a hardstone like this and drill it by hand!
