Description: | Pale blue semi-translucent glass bead, made by winding the molten glass around a core. The bead is 7.5 mm long (parallel to the perforation) and 10.5 mm in diameter; the sides are unevenly curved to make a barrel shape. The perforation is 4 mm in diameter. Small monochrome glass beads are difficult to date; this one is unlikely to be medieval but may be Roman or Anglo-Saxon, and perhaps is most likely to be 7th or early 8th century AD.
