Description: | Copper alloy bead that appears to have been formed by rolling a sphere which was then pierced by a pointed tool from both sides when still plastic. It is 11.7mm in diameter, 9.7mm thick and weighs 5.11 grams. The piercing varies in width being largest and the outer edges and tapering towards the middle, at the maximum it is 4.8mm in diameter. A similar bead is recorded on the database as SF-076CF3. Simple copper alloy beads are hard to date precisely and were widely used between the Iron Age and Post Medieval periods.
