- Description:
- This is a small, tubular, opaque black glass bead with three red and white compound stripes. This bead is closest to type Ibb2 in the system derived by Kenneth and Martha Kidd, which is often used by archaeologists to classify beads. This is a drawn bead, made by pulling, or "drawing," molten glass into long hollow tubes. The tubes are then cut into pieces and then either remain as tubular beads or have their edges rounded.
