Beauty spanning centuries - ancient glass dragonfly eye beads and phoenix tail beads woven necklace. Dragonfly eye size 4.2*3CM Phoenix tail size 1CM Material: Colored glaze Age unknown I found a few old beads in my hometown. After checking the information, they should be ancient colored glaze dragonfly eye beads from the Warring States and Han Dynasties. I met a player Why is colored glaze inlaid with eyes? Since ancient times, humans have prayed for health and happiness. After the human civilization in West Asia and India, there was a concept that "eyes can ward off evil and drive away turbidity", because humans have eyes, they can see things in front of them, avoid obstacles, and even observe the future. Over time, people like eyes very much. In order to express their love for eyes, humans draw "eyes" on cave walls, buildings, tombs, or wear them on their bodies as amulets to offset bad luck.
