Object Description
An Ancient Roman restrung necklace comprised of deep blue glass beads of various shapes. The colours vary from royal blue, navy and azure, alongside natural striations. The beads are mostly disc-shaped, spherical or tubular, and gradually increase in size towards the centre. The necklace features a centre piece of four beads; one cuboid, one spherical, one ovoid and a small perforated piece at the tip. The ovoid bead at the centre of the pendant displays a knobbly surface. The piece is finished with a silver-plated clasp (please be aware that the clasp has not been professionally tied).
