**First Time At Auction**
Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate to Late Dynastic Period, ca. 1070 to 332 BCE. A fabulous and wearable necklace composed of hundreds of glazed faience beads in tubular and discoid forms in rainbow hues. The upper strand of beads is composed of dozens of petite discoid beads, while the lower body consists of 14 strands of drooping tubular beads. A stunning combination of ancient art and modern style! Size (of necklace): 34.5" L (87.6 cm); Size (of largest bead): 0.5" L (1.3 cm)
The ancient Egyptians referred to faience as "tjehnet" - meaning brilliant or dazzling - and was made from ground quartz or sand crystals together with various elements. Faience beads were used in everyday jewelry and were also used to make burial nets to be placed over mummies.
