This glass bead, with its marbled red, white, and golden swirls, is a classic example of Islamic glass artistry from the 9th to the 11th century CE. During this period, Islamic glassmakers were renowned for their mastery of color and pattern, often infusing glass with metallic oxides to achieve such vivid streaks and bands. The swirling design may have been intended to imitate agate, a stone highly prized for its beauty and protective qualities. Artifacts like this bead were treasured for both their material and spiritual value, reflecting the Islamic Golden Age's flourishing trade and culture. Found along the Silk Road, these beads serve as evidence of the period's vibrant commercial and artistic exchanges.
