ANCIENT AGATE BEAD PROBABLY THE FORM OF A MAN HEAD, IN THE STYLE OF MID FIRST MILLENNIUM B.C.

An ancient agate bead, likely carved in a later period to form a head of a man. The bead showcases a minimalist yet expressive depiction, featuring simple geometric shapes to indicate facial features. While the bead itself is ancient, the carving reflects stylistic elements from the mid-first millennium B.C., suggesting that it was modified at a later stage.
