Viking-era beads, Tuna i Badeluna Grave 11
- A set of Viking-era beads based on the finds from Tuna i Badeluna, Sweden
- £18.00
Handmade reproductions of Viking-era glass beads based on finds from Sweden, these lampworked beads have been created using the traditional method of winding layers of molten glass around a mandrel (metal rod) and then decorating the bead with additional molten glass in contrasting colours in a variety of patterns including thin trails of glass and layered dots.
These beads are a reproduction of a group of beads from Grave 11. The wavy white lines are an attempt to replicate twisted cable beads, without the beadmaker really grasping how they were achieved.
