| Here we have an ancient Egyptian mummy beads Necklace with six strands. During the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under pharaoh Narmer-Menes, the first ruler of Dynasty I about 3200 BC, the ancient Egyptian elite relied upon faience beads for the design of their jewelry. One can, therefore, state quite confidently that faience beads are the single most distinctive element incorporated into the design of every luxurious example of Egyptian jewelry from that moment on. Beads continue to characterize ancient. The ancient Egyptians recognized the shimmering quality of faience, the glistening surfaces of which reminded them of semi-precious stones. The ancient faience beads from which these choker length necklaces are designed are imbued with these symbolic and mystical. Period: late period Ca 747- 30 BC. Condition: Great condition overall. Composition: Faience Dimensions: 18 INCHES | ||
