Late Period to Roman Period, ca. 664 BC–AD 300

Most are long tubular faience beads in bright turquoise, blue and blue-green, separated by small disc and cylindrical beads in cream, buff, red-brown, carnelian red and dark blue. At the centre is a faceted, biconical gold bead of hollow sheet construction, flanked by two irregular translucent green beads, perhaps green glass or a pale stone such as beryl or prase. Beads like these were strung into necklaces worn in life and placed in burials. The faience beads are weathered, with uneven surviving glaze.. The ancient gold bead is bright, with light wear.

Both the arrangement and the stringing are modern.

Size: 19 inches (48.3 cm) L.
