A delicate restrung glass necklace from the Roman era. Groups of smaller rounded beads alternate with larger beads leading to the centre of the necklace, which features a pendant formation. The pendant detail includes larger cylindrical, round and polygonal beads and culminates in an irregular glass bead with intense iridescence. Please note this necklace is unclasped and threaded on string.
Glass had become more of a malleable material following the invention of glass blowing in the 1st century AD, allowing for new shapes and moulds to become popular in Roman society; in some instances, glass production had caused for other more common materials such as clay to be less worthwhile for the production of some wares such as cups. One of these innovations included colouring the glass which was done using different metal oxides.
Measurements: Half length 45cm, beaded length 21cm
Provenance: Ex private UK collection, acquired 1990s.
