View translationAncient Roman Deep Blue Glass Beaded Necklace (No Reserve Price)
No. 89017033
A fine restrung Ancient Roman necklace composed of deep blue glass beads. The necklace is composed of rounded, tubular, rectangular, and polygonal beads. Two elongated rectangular beads feature in the middle of the body. The centre piece of the necklace is made of a series of three stacked beads, beginning with two polygonal beads, and terminating in a small rounded bead. Each bead features a unique shape and variety of hues. A few beads have been decorated with linear incisions. Please note this necklace is unclasped and threaded on string.
Such necklaces testify to the popularity of glass ornaments across the Roman Empire. The mass production of glass in Ancient Rome prompted the development of glass jewellery. The ageing process of glass endows Roman glass jewellery with unique qualities. For instance, contaminants manufactured into the glass, exposed to the surrounding environment over thousands of years, result in beautiful lustres and speckling, where the glass might formerly have been transparent.
Dimensions: (circa) half-length 43.9cm, beaded half-length 27cm
Provenance: Ex private UK collection, acquired 1990s.
