A complete small blue glass bead of Victorian date. A spherical blue glass bead flattened on two opposing sides. A perforation passes through the centre of the bead from one flattened side to the other. Dimentions: maximum diameter 4.5mm, height 3.0mm and weight 0.1g. The circular vertical perforation has a diameter of 1.0mm. Discussion: Beads of this type can be difficult to date but it is most likely to be of late Post-Medieval date. See NCL-A6B1E7.
