Beads with #Minion eyes ๐
Made of yellow, blue and white glass. Found in Vicenice, Czech Republic, dating late 6th/5th century BC.
So far, it has not been possible to determine whether the pearls were imported from the Mediterranean region or produced locally.
The beads are produced in core-winding technique, the yellow knobs and the eye motifs were applied to the beads.
On display at Naturhistorisches Museum Vienna.

@ninawillburger@social.anoxinon.de those black and white concentric rings are known today among flameworkers as "dot stack" - made from stacking dots of glass atop one another and melting them in on each layer. Neat to see it done so long ago
