Description
This bead with its fine swirled pattern set against a dark background is characteristic of Roman glasswork from the 1st to 2nd century CE. The pattern, achieved through the skilled manipulation of molten glass with mineral additives, reflects the sophistication of Roman glassmakers and their ability to create intricate designs. Such beads were likely traded extensively throughout the Roman Empire and beyond, valued for their beauty and the prestige of Roman craft. The bead's size and striking pattern suggest it may have been a focal piece in a necklace or bracelet, worn to display wealth and status.
