Faience beads

Faience beads of different shapes and colors were found in the bead pot (83). Some of these appear to be imitations of the natural stones; deep azure blue lapis lazuli, blue-green turquoise and banded to imitate banded agate. A red-brown glass-like bead, first thought to be early glass (85) is in the center, but it is in fact a form of crystalline rock.
