Object Description
A fine, restrung Ancient Roman dark blue glass beaded necklace. The body of the necklace is comprised of spherical and ellipsoid beads which gradually increase in size towards the centre and display vibrant translucency and striations. A pendant is formed from a stack of three beads of varying shapes. Each bead is unique in colour, texture, and shape which creates a mosaic-like impression. Such necklaces testify to the popularity of glass ornaments across the Roman Empire. The necklace is finished with a gold-plated clasp (please be aware the clasp has not been professionally tied).
