Petal-Shaped Bead by Unknown. The image shows a white bead with a blue symbol on it. The bead is shaped like a teardrop with the pointed end facing downwards. The top of the bead tapers to a small cylindrical protrusion. The bottom of the bead tapers to a smaller rounded protrusion. The bead has a glossy surface with visible speckles of brown and grey. The blue symbol on the bead is enclosed within an oval border. The symbol consists of a vertical line with a curved line on either side, resembling a flame or a teardrop shape. The background of the image is a plain grey surface.
