Featuring a dark blue base with a pattern of twisted gold stripes, this glass bead is reminiscent of the late Roman period, specifically from the 3rd to the 4th century CE. Glass beads with such spiral designs were popular in the late Roman Empire, reflecting the influence of Hellenistic artistic traditions. This bead was likely crafted using the drawn glass technique, where molten glass rods were stretched and twisted to form intricate patterns before being sliced into beads. The luxurious appearance of the gold-colored stripes suggests the bead may have been intended to emulate precious metalwork, a craft that Romans held in high esteem. Such beads were treasured both for personal adornment and as items of trade, reflecting the sophistication and wealth of late antiquity.
