Description

Product Name: Antique fluted Agate Bead, Germany, 6th century AD. 12.89 carats / 2.58 retailer grams.

An ancient relic from the 6th century AD, this faceted, fluted and drilled bead originated in Germany and was uncovered and identified by a team of retailer archaeologists from the University of Turin in Africa.

Beads such as these were used by Venetian traders, primarily in the region of what is today Nigeria.

The translucent white Agate bead has a hexagonal barrel-shape profile and is drilled along its length.


This rather beautiful, luminous gem is both a testament to the ancient craftsmen who worked the hard stone to shape and a symbol of early commerce.
