Description: | A complete shale or possibly jet bead. This bead is circular in plan and measures 19mm in diameter, its sides flare outwards in its centre. One side of the bead is a lot thicker than the other measuring 11mm, the other side is only 6mm thick. The wider side is most likely to have been the front face of the bead. This bead has a circular perforation which is off centre and worn, it measures 7mm in diameter. This bead is a rare discovery in very good condition. It is early Bronze Age in date and similar to a shale bead discovered in Wiltshire (Annable and Simpson 1964, 117, no 498), examples are also known from west Suffolk. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
