Description: | A complete cast copper alloy bead of unknown date. It is round in plan, with flat top and bottom, but hexagonal in cross section. There is a central round perforation, which has smooth sides. There is no decoration. There is some corrosion, and the metal is pitted. The flat top and bottom are smooth and worn. There are two small scratches, one on each side; the first runs parallel to the perforation, on the edge of the flat surface; the other runs from the perforation to the end of the flat surface. Overall, it is in good condition. It is 33.17 g, 13.67 mm H x 23.44 mm DIA (5.23 mm DIA on the perforation). Beads of this date are difficult to date as they are used from the Bronze Age through to the Medieval period. Similar objects can be found on the database ESS-3BC5B4, KENT-093743, NARC-6623C2, and IOW-A7EE12.
