Early Medieval glass bead

Two fragments of a segmented dark blue bead. The bead is tubular in form with three larger and one smaller segment.

It is very similar to bead 2017.4H/7.7 and may be a fragment from the same bead or similar beads from the name necklace. For a related blue bead also with four segments from Ireland see Mannion 2015, 22, fig. 14: 'a typical Class 1 bead'
