UK gallery, early 2000s.
Cf. Then-Obłuska, J., ‘Trade and faith in Nubian Early Makuria (AD 450–550): macroscopic examination of personal adornments from El-Zuma in Nubia’ in Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean, January, 2016, pp.741-760, fig.4.
Carnelian beads were diffused in west from the Iranian and other Western Asiatic countries. During Antiquity, the beads were transported from their places of manufacture in India and Persian Empires, and archaeological and literary sources provide evidence of the high prosperity of the Red Sea ports as well as of their trade contact with the Indo-Pacific regions.
