Found in Cambridgeshire, England, along the East coast. Over 1” (1.04”) length, 9.7mm diameter. Cast, addorsed conical form with raised lips to each end. Beads were valued more than gold to Vikings and they produced them as well as pillaged and ransomed for them. In the 10th century, they went to Indonesia specifically to procure a ransom for their legendary miniature beads. These large beads were made by Vikings and are suitable for modern bead creations. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored. Jewelry gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity. Exceptional size.
