Workflow stage: Published
Probable bead made from copper alloy. 12 mm in maximum diameter and with a straight-sided 6 mm diameter perforation, the sides curve parallel to the perforation ('barrel-shaped') with a very slight angle in the centre. The bead varies from 7 to 8 mm thick and is very similar to an ancient glass bead. It is very hard to date - perhaps Iron Age or Roman.
