Description: | Transparent blue glass hexagonal bead. Crudely cast. Diameter of perforation 5mm.
Although there are Roman hexagonal beads Guido notes that these are mostly green and that the blue ones are less common and likley to be post-Roman in date. (Guido, M. The Glass Beads of the Prehistoric and Roman Periods in Britain and Ireland, Soc. of Antiquaries, 1978, p.96.) This example is also much larger than Roman period beads of this type. | 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: | 1700
