Description
- Bead, fragment.
- Bone, bronze
- Bead: diam., 1.2 cm., diam. of hole 4 mm. Bronze pin fragment: l. 1.4 cm., th. 3.5 - 4.5 mm.
- A spherical white bone bead, broken in half along the piercing, preserving its diameter intact. The piercing is filled by a now heavily corroded thin bronze round pin, projecting slightly at either end of the bead. This pin may have had an enlarged head against which the bead hung, secured in place (the enlarged portion may be swollen by damage and corrosion).
- Poor. The bead is broken in half, its original surface polish worn away, soiled and pitted. The bronze is broken at both ends, heavily corroded.
