status: Awaiting validation 
A hollow silver bead, now distorted, probably dating to the modern period. The bead is broadly spherical and decorated with filigree panels in the shap of flower petals. One of these cells retains a red paste or enamel, another green. The majority of the surface of the bead is covered in the remains of a white paste. There is a collared circlet on either side of the bead through which the string would have passed. The bead is now flattened on one side.
See HESH-94BF54 for comparison and discussion.
