Description: | A complete short biconical opaque dark blue glass bead. It has an irregular and uneven circumference and the two halves of the bead are of different sizes. It is 6.2mm long and has a diameter of 6mm. The off-centre perforation has a diameter of 1-1.5mm. At one side, the perforation has an extension from the glass having been wound. It weighs 0.21g. Short biconical beads are commonly noted on 3rd and 4th century sites (Guido 1978, 97-8 fig. 37 nos. 12-14) although they are very occasionally noted in 1st century contexts as at Maiden Castle, Dorset (Guido 1978, 97).
