Lovely Afghan Roller Bead, Resin 1930's Roman Glass made from Oltu StoneThis interesting roller bead has hand carved impressions which come to life pressed into silly putty or other impressionable material. Look at the amazing carvings! It tells a whole story, which I cannot decipher, but it is highly detailed carving of a mythical winged griffin. Afghan from 1930's 40's, a resin material, maybe bakelite. 21mm long x 12mm diameter with 2mm hole. A collector item, and wearable! A fine replica of an ancient stone bead,
