Gilt bronze, just under 3/4” length (0.76”). 0.51” diameter. Spherical with stepped ring ends. The center of four bars over a hollow core. These large beads were used in the large complex necklaces of aegis form which covered the upper torso to the neck. This example is obviously a major element of such a jewelry creation and probably of spiritual significance. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored with certificate of authenticity.
