BOT910: Small Bottle of Faience “Mummy” Beads!
A great gift idea for any ancient Egyptian enthusiast! A small bottle of assorted faience “mummy” beads! The beads date from Egypt's New Kingdom to Late Dynastic Period, circa 1570-535 BC.
These extremely high-quality beads were crafted of faience, a porcelain/glass-like material which turned bright colors when fired in the kiln. Bottle measures about 1 inch tall with cork... beads can be poured out if desired. Each contains around 20-25 beads of various shapes and colors.
Every assortment is unique but similar in composition. The one you receive will be different and not necessarily the same as pictured. Great small gift idea! Beads ex-Nomis Antiquities; ex-Simonian family collection, Switzerland, formed in the 1960’s.
Every item we sell comes with a hand-signed certificate of authenticity which includes all the item details, culture, dating, historical relevance, and provenance.
