Abstracts

The topic of this article is basic sealing technologies of coloured glasses that were used as decorations of early medieval beads found in Slovakia and Moravia. Winding of coloured fibres around beads or application of coloured points were the most frequent ways of ornamentation. Usage of coloured cords for beads decoration is presupposed to be a new technology. It appears on so-called melon-seed glass beads („Melonenkernperlen“) from the 7th - 8th centuries as well as on olive-shaped beads dated to the 9th - 10th centuries. Intermeshing of glasses of different quality with using of a metal foil is a special way of glass sealing that was used first of all for decoration of transversely segmented beads. The glass-granulation decorated bead from Prša is a rare evidence of both the glassworker’s mastery and unusual glass sealing technology.
