For whatever reason, when I was scanning through images of Viking Age beads on Unimus.no, I fell in love with this little yellow stripey one from Kaupang. Honestly, I do not much even care for the color yellow, but this bead fascinates me
I was pleasantly surprised when going back over the Birka material (below left, grave 56) that I found the same style of bead depicted there as well, and again in the finds from Møre og Romsdal (below right).

Now I am looking carefully at everything in hopes of finding yet more of these!
And yes, I will be finishing my post on glass sources this week. I also barely got to work on beads this last weekend because I was busy installing better ventilation in my workspace. Breathing is important ;-)
