A distinctive ancient glass bead of substantial rounded form, made from dark glass and decorated with contrasting cream-coloured bands and circular radial eye motifs in red, cream and darker tones.

Natural surface wear, deposits and minor age-related irregularities are present, consistent with its antiquity.
