Etched carnelian beads, or sometimes bleached carnelian beads, are a type of ancient decorative beads made from carnelian with an etched design in white, which were probably manufactured by the Indus Valley civilization during the 3rd millennium BCE. They were made according to a technique of alkaline-etching developed by the Harappans, and vast quantities of these beads were found in the archaeological sites of the Indus Valley civilization. They are considered as an important marker of ancient trade between the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia and even Ancient Egypt, as these precious and unique manufactured items circulated in great numbers between these geographical areas during the 3rd millennium BCE, and have been found in numerous tomb deposits.

  • Geätzte Karneolperlen sind charakteristisch für den indischen Kulturraum und bereits seit dem dritten Jahrtausend v. Chr. belegt. Sie sind ein typisches Produkt der Indus-Kultur, sind aber auch in späteren Jahrtausenden bezeugt und wurden auch an anderen Orten in Südostasien produziert. Die ältesten Exemplare stammen aus dem Industal und aus Mesopotamien, wo sie in der Mitte des dritten Jahrtausend v. Chr. auftauchen. Einige Exemplare fanden sich im sogenannten Königsfriedhof von Ur, wo sie schon in der Grabungspublikation als aus Indien stammend identifiziert wurden. Sie sind dann bis in die sassanidische und in die frühe islamische Zeit bezeugt. Vor allem die Exemplare aus Mesopotamien sind wiederholt als Beleg für den Handel zwischen Mesopotamien und dem Industal herangezogen worden. (de)
