The Etruscan culture rose in the 7th-6th century BC in what is now Tuscany. The arts were highly developed but little is known about their specific history. This is a Etruscan polished stone pendant dating to about 600 BC. It is a compressed spherical shape. It is well polished and appears to be marble with gray inclusions. It is 14 mm (over 1/2") in length. It would have been strung, alternating with a fused metal bead of similar size. An original of that form is in the collection of the collection of the Walters Museum in Baltimore. This is a rare and major bead for any antiquities collection or modern jewelry creation. EUP1
