Romersk antikk Gult glass Perlekjede (Ingen reservasjonspris)
A delicate restrung glass necklace from the Roman era. Glass beads of various shapes and shades of yellow and amber increase in size towards the centre. The centrepiece of the necklace is formed by a grooved ellipsoid bead. 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 43cm, beaded length 21cm
Provenance: Ex private UK collection, acquired 1990s.
