EGB455: Ancient Egyptian Faience Bead Necklace

Ancient Egyptian bead necklace: Faience beads dating from Egypt's New Kingdom to Late Dynastic Period, c. 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.

Re-strung on sturdy Softflex with silver clasps, each necklace measures approx. 19 inches long. Individual examples vary slightly in appearance, the necklace you receive may be different than the example pictured. Fantastic gift idea! Extremely rare in this quality. Beads ex-Nomis Antiquities; ex-Simonian family collection, Switzerland, formed in the 1960’s.
