Object Description
A restrung Ancient Roman necklace composed of glass circular beads gradually increasing in size from the clasp towards the centre. Each bead is unique in translucency, texture, shape and colour ranging from vivid navy to cobalt blue creating a mosaic-like impression. The necklace is completed with four larger beads acting as a pendant-like formation at its centre. Such necklaces testify to the popularity of glass ornaments across the Roman Empire. The necklace is finished with a silver clasp (please be aware the clasp has not been professionally tied).
Half length of necklace: 23.5 cm
Date: Circa 1st – 3rd Century AD
