Description: | Glass bead. A tiny cylindrical bead of a bright mid blue tinted translucent glass with a paler inner sleeve and a round aperture of diameter 2.3mm. The outside surface bears neat rhomboid facets with triangular facets between them, and longitudinal lines from the inner sleeve show through the facets. The precision and regularity of the form must argue the use of machinery in making this object. It may come from a necklace or, perhaps more likely, a lace bobbin. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1850-1900.Length: 5.9mm, Diameter: 5.2mm, Weight: 0.23gms.
