"Flattened oblate spherical bead of opaque turquoise blue glass : wire wound. The flattening has been made with a pincers and is intentional. The glass contains many black and sandy impurities, especially on the surface of the threading-hole. This is not, so far as I remember a 'Saxon' type, but turquoise blue beads are frequent in the latest Iron Age, and in Roman times, and that (AD 1-400) is where I would prefer to place this specimen at a guess."
