A Phoenician necklace with beads with linear decoration and eyes in vitreous paste is a jewel that encapsulates the artistic sophistication and symbolic beliefs of the Phoenicians.

The eye beads, known as “glass eyes”, are interspersed throughout the necklace and served as protective amulets against the evil eye, a widespread belief in antiquity.

This type of necklace was not only a fashion accessory, but also an object of protection and status, reflecting the wealth and cultural connection of the Phoenicians with other Mediterranean peoples. The combination of aesthetics and symbolism in these pieces highlights the ability of the Phoenicians to create objects that were both beautiful and functional in their beliefs and daily practices.

Phoenician glass bead necklaces are a testament to the technical skill and artistic creativity of this ancient civilization, known for its mastery in glass manufacturing. These necklaces, dating back to the first millennium BC, were made with glass beads of various colors, shapes and sizes, displaying a vibrant and detailed design.

The beads often included symbolic motifs, such as human faces or deities, protective eyes (the “eye of Horus”) and geometric patterns. These decorations served not only an aesthetic purpose, but also a protective one, serving as amulets against the evil eye and other spiritual dangers.

The manufacture of these beads employed advanced techniques, such as hot glass rolling and molding, along with the use of mineral pigments to create brilliant colors. The Phoenicians, great traders, spread this jewelry throughout the Mediterranean, taking them to regions such as Egypt, Greece and the Iberian Peninsula, where they became objects of prestige and evidence of cultural exchange in antiquity.
