Red wasp pearl
Birka
A so-called wasp pearl, red with yellow spirals, the original was found on Björkö (Birka), Sweden. From the second half of the 7th century.

You melt and wrap the glass around a steel stick dipped in pipe clay. Then the bead is decorated with more molten glass in different colors while slowly spinning the stick.
