These beads are perfectly preserved, and measure 8.73 mm and 8.77 mm in diameter, respectively. These would likely have adorned a large, pectoral necklace.

Measures: 11.77 mm long X 8.63 mm wide X 5.23 in thickness.

Condition: some fine surface polishing due to this piece having been worn as an amulet during daily life of an ancient Egyptian of the 18th Dynasty, but, besides that, it's pristine. A rare and enviable specimen.

In addition to the obvious quality of this piece, it is accompanied by a fantastic provenance...

This piece is direct from the world-renowned collection of the late Philip Mitry.

Philip Mitry was a well-known and reputable, antiquities dealer who owned a shop in Cairo which was, at the time, licensed by the Egyptian government. In the early 1950's Mitry sold the shop, which was called the Anglo-American Bookstore and Antiquities Shop. He then moved to the United States, where he began to disperse the collection.

As such, much of what has since been dispersed from this famous collection has ended up in major museums the world over, and this collection had amongst it some of the finest scarabs and seals to be found anywhere.

The necklace measures 17" (43 cm) in length.

The cartouche retains it's original blue and red pigments, as seen. The colours are vibrant!

The cartouche reading 3h-n-Itn, which, literally says Akhen-Aten. Reference for this cartouche can be found on pg 142-143 of Jurgen von Beckerath's Handbuch der Agyptischen Konigsnamen, #10, E4.

The piece measures 4" tall, 3.75" wide and 1.25" thick.

A fantastically rare and collectible piece.

The necklace measures 16.5" in length.

This piece dates to the Amarna Period in Egyptian history. The religious revolution brought about by Amenhotep IV, Akhenaten, ushered in a wonderful change in jewelry design and manufacture. This ring is a choice example of such.

It is wearable, but if you do, then take heed that it is a delicate ceramic, and can be broken.
