Title
Early Medieval glass bead
Description
English: Half of a glass bead. The breaks are old. Probably Early medieval, sixth century. Length 12mm. Weight 1.95g. When complete the bead would have been about 14mm in diameter.

The bead is an opaque black colour with a yellow band at the top and bottom, and in between red zigzag bands, all marvered onto the surface. The bead is probably a Guido type 8xviib, 'drum-shaped' - short cylindrical. (Guido, 1999). The perforation is 5mm in width at one end and 4.5mm at the other end.
