Beads

These faience beads were found at Culbin Sands in Moray and Luce Sands in Wigtownshire. Faience beads and pendants found in Scotland show the adoption by the elite of fashions current in southern England, especially Wessex, during the 2nd millennium B.C.

The star-shaped beads are from Luce Sands. The segmented beads are from Culbin Sands. One is square in section, the other circular. Both are decorated with grooves.

Faience jewellery was made at several sandy locations in Scotland during the 2nd millennium BC. The technological skills and the design ideas were imported from southern England.
