Viking-era glass beads based on finds from Denmark, 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 or layered dots.
They are fully annealed and cleaned before being made available for sale.
The price is for ONE bead.
Apparently, the burial site at Bornholm has another distinction! Denmark’s oldest onion was found in the excavations at Nørre Sandegård on Bornholm. So, now you know.
