Four protrusions are attached to the center of the cobalt colored bead body with each protrusion made up of interchanged layers of cobalt and white glass for a total of 6 layers. Two pairs of smaller protrusions, one row white and one row yellow, circle the top and the bottom of the cylindrical bead body.
