Globular Blue And White Herring Bone Bead

I want one. I need one. I must have one!

I think I like replicas a little more than is healthy...

This particular bead is from the Early Medieval hillfort at Dunadd. It may have even been made there. And it is gorgeous. Actually, they have a lot of crazy beautiful beads at Dunadd.

I remembered the metal-working, but I had forgotten all about the glass. I'm really enjoying how much teaching this course is making me freshen up some old memories and dig through new things.
