Large glass "chevron" trade bead, intact, very rare provenance. 41.11 grams, 1-1/2" long and 1" in diameter. Largest bead we have seen but an exact match in design with the main ones from around the Caribbean, with dark blue center and red on ends in chevron pattern, very thick and heavy and intact, also one of very few items recovered and sold from this very early wreck whose main yield was a very rare breech-loading cannon. With Humphreys photo-certificate (1992). Recovered from: Unidentified ca.-1543 wreck off Grand Bahama Island
