Celtic glass 'Eye' bead with a double row of four multi-layered eyes in white and blue on a yellow background.

Diameter: ± 11,5 mm
Height: ± 9,5 mm

The layered Eye beads are made by fusing different colored glass rods, then cut in small pieces and pressed in a hot matrix. Finally the ring beads were smoothed and polished.
The place of manufacture is still uncertain, but it is likely they were imported from workshops in the eastern Mediterranean area.
