Strands of mosaic eye beads with composite circular cane cross section insets assembled with intense blue, highly altered nila. Found at Tin-Essamed (Find XV). The same mosaic tile was used to form the various types of beads present in these necklaces: oval shaped with no decorative motifs (fig. 46), oval shaped (fig. 61), cylindrical (fig. 60) and spherical (fig. 62), with banded polychrome motifs at each end.
