Alessandro Neri

A rare natural banded agate bull talisman from the Sino-Mongolian culture, first millennium BC. 

In good condition. It has been cleaned, but the nice antique patina is preserved. If applicable, the holes are ancient, hand-made, irregular. Some items might bear the traces of several holes - or the holes being re-drilled in modern times to facilitate use. 

Purchased mid 90's in Budapest by Dr. Zelnik from the collection of a former Hungarian ambassador in Asia, H.E.T
