Description: | Cast copper alloy bead. The bead is circular in plan and hexagonal in section being bi-conical. It is of regular thickness with the circular perforation centrally set. There is raised band running around the bead, flanked to either side by a narrow circumfral groove. A circumfral groove also runs around the perforation to each side.
No casting seam is visible. The original surface survives mostly intact with a dark green patina, with areas of damage and wear showing as lighter green. The bead has a diameter of 14.42mm, is 10.22mm thick and weighs 6.04g. Beads are difficult to date, but given the patination it is probably Late Iron Age or Roman in date | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
