Note:&nbsp;A pair of gold disk-shaped beads similar to those found in the Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh in the Mandi hoard. With serrated edges, they are delicately manufactured. It is widely believed that they date back to the Harappan period around 2000 BC, making them one of the oldest precious metal jewelry components found in India. It is likely that they served both as a means of exchange as well as a means for storing value.

The characteristic&nbsp;white enamel-etched decoration&nbsp;on the carnelian remains clearly visible.<o:p></o:p>The beads originate from&nbsp;Dangwada, Madhya Pradesh, a significant early trade centre on routes linking Central India with China, noted by the Buddhist monk&nbsp;Fa-Hien&nbsp;during the reign of&nbsp;Chandragupta II&nbsp;(Gupta dynasty, early 5th century AD).
