The item for sale is an ancient Viking mosaic glass bead. It is round in shape with micro mosaic triangular patterns in red, white and blue squares. It would have originally been on a necklace of a wealthy Viking woman. These type of beads were generally looted and displayed by women to advertise the success of their men in raiding ventures abroad.

Needless to say this is an exceptionally scarce bead. Condition It is in a used condition but has no restoration at all.
