Posters, readers, Beadman.
I refer to an older post on a "Man-in-the-moon" bead I was informed on only today. Tasart's black MITM bead is certainly an EXCEPTIONAL specimen! Not only, but certainly also because of the find context in Eastern Turkey (just opposite the early glass-centres of the eastern Mediterranean)together with various other glass beads of ancient origin. Unsusual the bead not only for it's shape (round), color ("black")and the opacity of it's glass, but also because of the elaborate trail decoration Tasart's rare specimen shows. Still, I want to point out that I VERY MUCH disagree with Beadman's remark regarding the bead's white moon and star-design. How many such beads, I wonder, have you seen and could observe, Beadman? The (three transparent-blue)"Man-in-the-Moon" beads I had a chance to study were clearly and undoubtedly trail decorated. Aside from manufacturing technics, I have further doubts regarding Beadman's assumption of the bead's place of origin. Holland, in my opinion, is a very unlikely production place.
