Ancient Roman Glass "Eye" Bead dyed 75 year old Nigerian brassThis large glass Roman Eye Bead came from a strand of amazing beads that are over 2,000 years old, excavated and traded years ago in Afghanistan. This bead is in a bit worn condition and is covered with large eyes, and extremely rare! Its price reflects the condition, size, color and number and size of "eyes", and this bead has some damage. Measures 14mm diameter x 13mm with a 3mm hole. Highly collectable!
