Description: | Two stone beads, both of which are spherical with a circular central hole. One is grey and the other is off white. The grey one is 10.8mm high and has a diameter of 8.6mm. It is in very good condition and weighs 1.12g. The other one is 11.4mm high and has a diameter of 9.9mm. This one has some chips round one end of the hole. It weighs 1.24g. The beads were found in the same garden and are likely to be associated. Unfortunately, they are impossible to date securely. The design of beads does not change with fashion, and they were as popular in the Victorian period as in the Roman era and at all times between. Although a date cannot be attributed, they are interesting finds, as there are only 11 other stone beads on the PAS database. They include ESS-E98AC1 and HAMP-110A62. The thread pictured is recent.
