This is a quartz bead found in the Tanjore District. This bead was found in the Cauvery River. The bead is 20 mm x 16mm. It is a faceted shape which tapers down to both ends. The perforation is 1.8mm. The bead is polished but shows some crack and damage due to wear and tear by being in the river. This bead can be placed between 800 BCE - 300 AD
