Product code: Japanease edo tonbodama, order almost agate-like round beads made of glass【free shipping】 【ZB20002-5】
Almost agate!
This rare tonbo dama was made in Japan at the end of the Edo period. Probably made in imitation of agate, which was sold at a high price in those days. Even the order stripe pattern has been reproduced in detail, making it a piece of workmanship that is hard to believe it is glass. As these made in the Edo period contain a high proportion of lead, they have a chunky feel to them in contrast to their appearance. In good condition.
