Description:

Like the amulet with the eye (00138 TEA) we are unsure of the origin of this bead. It is similar to some made in the Mediterranean area during the late Roman period (300-450 AD ) or it could date to much later. From ancient times glass beads were traded from the Middle East and Mediterranean area eastwards towards China.
