Description: | An incomplete annular glass bead, c.75% now survives. It is pale blue, with light iridescence on the external surface, but heavier iridescence on the internal surface and at the breaks. The diameter (21.7mm) and thickness of the section is irregular. The bead is 6.4-8.3mm high. The perforation is large with a diameter of 11.5mm and is slightly irregular having been formed around an object with straight lines/angles.The bead weighs 2.80g. Monochrome annular beads have been found in both late Iron Age and Roman contexts and are difficult to date precisely (Guido 1978, 65-6 group 6iia, 140-2). Blue/green examples are the most common, but dark blue, yellow/brown and greenish colourless examples are also known.
