The bead is made by wrapping the alternately arranged layers of red, white and blue glass paste around the earth's circular cross - section. It was mutually shaped by cutting. The middle part of the beads consists of straight, retangular surface, with both sides continuing to be sloped. On their joints, the white glass layers forms the motive of the zigzag.
