Egyptian Faience Bead Necklace (Roman Period, 30 B.C. - 323 A.D.)

This exquisite necklace is composed of ancient Egyptian faience beads, dating back to the Roman Period (30 B.C. - 323 A.D.). Faience, known for its lustrous glaze and vibrant colors, was highly prized in ancient Egypt for its symbolic and aesthetic value.

The beads, each meticulously handcrafted over 2,000 years ago, are strung together to create a beautiful piece that harmonizes antiquity with modern design. The beads exhibit the characteristic turquoise and earthy tones, representing life, rebirth, and protection, themes often associated with faience in Egyptian culture.

The necklace is delicately strung on a 17-inch modern string, weighing approximately 4.5 grams. While the string itself is a contemporary addition, the beads remain authentic, offering a timeless connection to the past.

This rare artifact not only reflects ancient Egyptian craftsmanship but also serves as a wearable piece of history.

Condition: Excellent ancient beads, restrung on modern string for durability.
Dimensions: Approx. 17 inches in length, 4.5 grams in weight.
Period: Roman Period (30 B.C. - 323 A.D.).
On a faux leather black string.

Provenance: Acquired from an established antiquities auction house.

A must-have for collectors of ancient jewelry or anyone with an appreciation for the rich history of ancient Egypt!

thank you it is lovely, well packed and tracked and with the authenticity certificate, I love it! Custom taxes are heavy though: on a final bid of 30 euros, I paid 18 euros of taxes!
