An Byzantine Striped Glass Bead, Circa 4th-6th Century CE

Item Details

Description

The bead, with its yellow and black stripes, is emblematic of glassware from the Byzantine era, particularly between the 4th and 6th centuries CE. The bold striping is characteristic of Byzantine tastes, which favored strong visual contrast and rich coloration. Such beads were popular personal ornaments, believed to reflect the wealth and status of the owner. The use of yellow coloring, often produced through the introduction of lead antimonate or similar compounds, was a technological achievement of glassmakers in this period. Found throughout the Byzantine Empire, from the heart of Constantinople to its farthest reaches, this bead demonstrates the spread of Byzantine cultural and artistic influence.
