Original Message:   "Lamp wound glass beads"

Lampworking is a technique that was developed at Venice in the mid-to-late 15th C. Any "lamp work beads from antiquity" are most-likely trade bead intrusions—as has happened fairly often. But in this instance, here's my reply, posted at FaceBook, to the notice of these Pompeian beads also seen there today: This is such typical lurid phrasing, to draw attention. "Sorcerer" indeed (not). A collection of beads and ornaments—something that is a worldwide phenomenon, is now a "mysterious arsenal of charms." What is mysterious about this? JDA. I can recognize and identify several beads in this "collection." Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
