Description: | This is a good example of a blue glass annular bead and given the deep cobolt blue of the main body of the ring and its diameter at 20mm, it is probably from the Roman period. The glass has been decorated with an opaque white wavy line and this is typical of the type (wave-decorated beads) as described in Margaret Guido's 'The Glass Beads of the Prehistoric and Roman Periods'. In particular, this example fits within the group 5 type 10d style.
The central hole is a little irregular and is slightly off centre. The diameter of the hole is 9mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
