Description: | A jet bead of either late Neolithic/Bronze Age, Roman or even Victorian date. The fusiform bead measures 23.5mm in length by 7.3mm in diameter and weighs 1.8g. The slight facetting on this example, which suggests it was pared to shape rather than lathe-turned, may hint at a Bronze Age date, but it could be the product of a less technically minded Roman jeweller (pers. comm. Lindsay Allason-Jones). It could even be a very worn Victorian example (pers. comm. Alison Sheridan). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
