Greenish-Blue, ellipsoidal, furnace-wound and shaped bead with inlaid complex twisted spiral stripe. According to Lester A. Ross, author of Trade Beads from Archeological Excavations at Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site, “a furnace-wound bead appears to have been manufactured by shaping a glob of molten glass on a wire or rod.”
