Description: | Bright blue bead made of wound semi-translucent glass, 7 mm in diameter and 6 mm long (measured along the perforation). The perforation is 3 mm in diameter. The bead is slightly irregular with its widest point being closer to one end than the other. The surface has a lustrous appearance which may be iridescence (caused by the decay of the glass) or which may have been deliberately made. The lustre continues over a small chip near one end of the perforation. Dating a small monochrome bead is very difficult; it could be Roman or Anglo-Saxon, or could be relatively modern. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
