Catt: Blue Glass Beads; from late Bronze Age (3300-1200 BC). Found in 1885 when a farmer ploughed up a cremation urn at Kongehøj in Denmark.

Imagine finding a treasure like this. Amazing.

I would LOVE to pass it as an heirloom to be treasured by many.

I used to teach Ancient History - I was always blown away with the beauty of many artefacts. Tho to find something yourself - so cool.

Wow beautiful and amazing.

Absolutely precious, reminds me of the Mediterranean Sea or sea glass 🩵🌊💙

The fact of how old it is and how it has kept its lustre . So hard to believe things can remain in such good condition after all those years. Even more amazing that these things can be found.

And imagining the love and care it took to make this. Mother Earth still holds so many secrets, hence why we need to protect her.

Absolutely. 🤗
