🌟 Symbolism and Spiritual Significance
* Pumtek Beads: These ancient beads are highly valued in the Himalayan region, particularly among the Chin/Kuki-Chin people, and are often considered a symbol of wealth, status, and protection. They are sometimes referred to as ‘ancient wood beads’.
* Agatised Wood: The process of agatisation involves the petrification of wood, replacing the organic material with agate or chalcedony. This transformation creates a strong, stone-like material with unique patterns.
* Tiger Tooth Design: The “Tiger Tooth” (or sometimes “Tiger Stripe”) pattern is one of the most desirable motifs for Pumtek and Dzi beads. It symbolizes power, ferocity, successful completion (especially of meditation and spiritual practice), and protection from misfortune, ill will, and spiritual harm.
* Patina: The good patina and feel suggest this bead has been worn and cherished for decades, imbuing it with spiritual energy and history.
