Roma antica Vetro Perla di vetro dell'antica Roma rara – dal I al IV secolo d.C.
Ancient Roman Glass "Eye Bead" – 1st–4th Century AD
A beautiful and well-preserved ancient glass bead featuring a striking black body with yellow ‘eye’ motifs. The bead is decorated with circular eye patterns and intersecting lines, designed as a form of protection against the evil eye – a common belief in the Roman world.

Dimensions: approx. 2 cm wide
Weight: 5.3 g
String length: 17 in (modern cord for wear/display)
