The notes accompanying this bead say "Achaemenid, c. 600 BC" - it's from a private collection, and a very, very special find for me. I have not been able to research this yet, but it was love at first site. Approx. 32mm x 22mm.

Thank you everyone, seeing you all, even for a brief time, was great
medicine.

I hope you enjoyed the images!

There will be a few more during the week.
