Description: | Cast copper alloy bead. The bead is circular in plan and hexagonal in section having bevelled sides to both upper and lower faces of the bead. No casting seam is visible. Most of the original surface survives with a mid brown patina. There are patches of orange corrosion product. The bead has a diameter of 15.04mm, is 6.86mm thick and weighs 6.16g. Beads are difficult to date, but given the patination and condition, this bead is probably Late Iron Age or Roman in date. A similar bead is recorded as ESS-34C394. | 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 | Temporal: | -100
