Description
Just under 1/2" diameter (0.49"), and well over 1/4" (0.30") length with large stringing hole. Cast bronze, of ridged medial bun form, originally gilt with the 24karat gold now restored. Beads were valued more than gold to Vikings and they produced them as well as pillaged and ransomed for them. In the 10th century, they went to Indonesia specifically to procure a ransom for their legendary miniature beads. These large beads were made by Vikings and are suitable for modern bead creations. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
