Taranto, Italy

Scaraboid made of transparent green vitreous paste with opaque whitish spiral inclusions, probably seeking to imitate agate. The find, oval in shape with one side flat and the other slightly convex, is believed to have been attached to a necklace by means of a hole bored through the piece along its major axis.
