Ancient beads as well as antique beads are among the most interesting of collector’s fields for a number of reasons. The personal connection of ancient and antique beads to their makers as wells their owners is closer than any relics other than religious objects. Few realize that ancient and antique beads made before full industrialization were very costly and in many cases, valued higher than gold. Vikings demanded them as tribute and American Pilgrims used them as money. The broad distribution of beads has in many cases, obscured their origins. In other cases, finding ancient beads far from their known origins, such as North African cowrie beads in Saxon burials, challenges the imagination.
