Stumbled across these pictures today. The one with the trailed twist is a pretty complicated bead, no? At first glance I thought it was a little snake or something curled in the dirt....

The first is from an Anglo-Saxon burial in Great Britain,
the other from a Celtic grave in the Czech Republic.

Search "Streethouse Grave"

and

"oppidum stradonice"

From the site hosting the Anglo-Saxon bead picture:

The amulet was a black annular twist glass bead, broken in two. Examples are known from at least six sites including two other cemeteries (Swallowcliffe Down and Shudy Camps where there are bed burials. There were five graves that had amulets (55, 62, 67, 70 and 73) in a variety of materials including jet, glass and amber, it amy also be significant that four of the five pieces were broken.
