Title
Bead of possible Roman date
Description
English: Half of a glass bead which is opaque, grey blue in colour and of uncertain date, possibly Roman. The bead was sub-spherical but has broken, only one half surviving. It has circumferential lines round it, probably indicating it was made by trailing and then rolling. Some of the swirls are different colours; there are darker grey and white streaks. The bead appears to have been squashed during production as the hole at one end has collapsed. It is not clear whether it was usable as the functional part of the hole could be on the missing half. The breaks shows the glass to be opaque and milky throughout, with small air bubbles inside the glass. Compare YORYM-409B27, SUSS-95CD91 and DEV-FCD632, but the colours are not the same as this example.
