• Ancient jewellery and decoration has a new meaning, with the discovery of bone ornaments in Telangana that go back about 4,000 years.
• In a find that has excited archaeologists, 50 pieces of bone ornaments have been found in a hamlet of Narmetta, an agricultural village on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
• Shaped precisely like a rhombus with round holes in the middle and circular indentations, these are thought to have been used as jewellery.
• Samples of the artefacts are being analysed at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology in Hyderabad.
