Ancient Beads, Large, Black, ca. 1200 BC - 2nd Century AD

Glass; each ca. 10mm - 15mm or more.

Con/ As and Fabricated; each holed in antiquity and perfect for stringing; still bright and beautiful as the day they were made. An excellent variety of shapes and sizes. Perfectly sized to use as 'spacers' when stringing our smaller beads!

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 per posting NRC has only ONE tube of these exquisite 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.
