Ancient Beads, Pastel-colored, ca. 1200 BC - 2nd Century AD

Glass; each ca. 5mm-10mm or so.

Con/ As and Fabricated; each holed in antiquity and perfect for stringing; colors still bright and beautiful as the day they were made. An excellent variety iridescence and shapes and sizes!

Seller's Note/ Why the 1400-year span on these as mentioned above? Because beads are beads, kids, and our attempt to put an exact year, or even a certain century on them, is utterly impossible. Just because these beads may have been fabricated in ancient Egypt, or some other source, has no bearing as to the true date. Trade was vast throughout the Mediterranean Sea and even further beyond the Pillars of Hercules. Beads exactly like ours were recently discovered in a Bronze Age settlement in the British Isles. Wow!

As seen in the photo, the amount of beads will vary as to how many will fit inside the shipping tube. As per posting NRC has only two tubes of these exquisite iridescence beads to share with you. But, we have many more very low priced tubes of beads in a variety of colors if you care to mix and match them.
