Description

An ancient Phoenician fused glass bead, circa 500 to 300 BC. The bead is spherical and has a relatively large hole drilled through the center. The glass has a multi layered design, with a dark bluish green base. The exterior is decorated with concentric circles, creating a pattern resembling petals or eyes. The design and fusion of glass layers reflect the advanced glassmaking techniques of the Phoenicians. Historical Collectibles, Archaeological Relics, Mineral Stone Jewelry.
