Viking beads, Whithorn

A group of 'eye beads', a form very popular with the Norse, and found on Viking sites in Man, Ireland, Orkney and across Scandinavia..   They are made by touching a very thin glass rod to the surface of the bead whilst it is hot to create a dot. Contrasting dots are often superimposed on the first dot to create a series of concentric dots that resemble an eye.
