Spacer Bead

3rd century (Late Roman) H: 2 in. (5.08 cm) Citation Source image

This gold profiled tube served as a spacer on a necklace (similar to Walters 57.1600) to keep pendants separate from one another. The smooth areas seem to have been worked on a lathe; the patterns are chased. No seams are visible.
