Description: | Early Saxon cylindrical glass bead with slightly convex sides. Drum-shaped and Guido's (1999) "black" type XVI. The paste appears to be black but is probably very dark green or blue, what Brugmann (2004) prefers to describe as "dark". There are three lines of zig-zag yellow. Diameter 13mm. Length 9.5mm. Hole diameter 5.2mm. Manufacture in the late 5th, 6th or 7th century is most likely, though such beads were in production in the 4th (ibid. 29 and 190)
