#FindsFriday: Colourful beads were very popular in south-west Germany in the early medieval period. They were mainly made from glass, sometimes from amber and semi-precious stones.
These beads were found in the burial site at Eichstetten, dating 6th to 7th century

@ninawillburger I can remember them being popular in the 1970s too. Don't believe they were quite the same though.

Seems last Hippie revival was not the first one! I wonder, if they already made psychedelic music and smoked weed?
Fantastic colours - they look good enough to eat! (Not recommended! )
