Perhaps the most spectacular objects made of carnelian are the long biconical "barrel-cylinder" beads, some more than five inches in length, crafted in the Indus Valley into spectacular pieces of jewelry found at many Harappan sites (see cat. no. 279). Imported long carnelian beads were also used for jewelry in the Near East; they are found, notably, in the Ur Royal Cemetery and in tombs at Kish and Tello. One bead from Susa bears a Sumerian dedicatory inscription to the goddess Ningal by the king Shulgi of Ur.(27) Note 27: Chakrabarti 1993; Chakrabarti and Moghadam 1977; Inizan 1993, p. 132; Amiet 1966, no. 179 (Sb 6627, with no clearly recorded find context).
