Object Description

A fine, restrung Ancient Roman necklace composed of glass beads of different vibrancy and shades of green from sage to emerald tones. Each bead is unique in translucency, colour, texture, and shape which creates a mosaic-like impression. Five larger beads have been strung in a drop formation to form an elongated pendant at its centre. The pendant is finished with a textured teal-coloured bead. 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).

Date: Circa 1st – 3rd Century AD
