Description: | A slightly damaged jet bead of possible Roman date. No parallel could be found for this object and it is uncertain whether this is a Roman piece or is much later (ie. from a 19th century piece of mourning jewellery).
The bead is hexagonal in section and extends in width towards the centre. Each of the six faces is decorated at the centre with varying combinations of large (having two rings) and small (having a single ring) ring-and-dot punch marks; from the central decorative section extends outwards a single incised line; a small ring and dot mark is located at the one surviving end. The hole runs longitudinally through the bead.
It measures 43.6mm long, by 9.4mm wide and weighs 2.72g. | 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: | 1
