This is an Ancient Byzantine Empire Feathered Glass artifact. It is considered a collectors item and is very old. The glass bead measures 23 X 9.7 mm, and is made with red glass having blue white stripes. The bead is handmade and is considered a remarkable piece of art. This item is an amazing example of the bead-making tradition of the Byzantine Empire.

Just take a look at the burnishing on the bead holes. Incredible wear for glass. Please consider making this shop a favor of yours, I combine Shipping on request FOR ONE WEEK. I acquired this from James Keats.
