John,
Your beads/bridle look great! they really stand out. Which find are they based upon?
The Vindolanda bead catalogue that I have shows three - four large melon beads associated with military (one of which was found attached to a leather strap suggested as horsegear) the largest diameter given is 25mm which yours look like a perfect match to, but the width (as they refer to it - meaning the bead height) is given as a maximum of 15mm. Yours look much thicker, almost a ball, so I'm thinking it isn't the Vindolanda beads??
