Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate to Late Dynastic Period, ca. 1070 to 332 BCE. A striking necklace comprised of eight layered strands of faience beads - alternating tubular and seed beads - in shades of turquoise blue, seafoam green, teal, and earthtones - featuring two figural amulets, one on the fourth strand depicting the god Shu kneeling with arms raised to support the Sun, and the larger on the eighth strand depicting Tawaret, the goddess of child birthing and protector of women, children, and the weak - with a modern sterling silver chain and findings. Size: 22" L (55.9 cm); longer amulet measures .75" L (1.9 cm)
Shu was a primordial god personifying the air. He was the father of Nut (sky) and Geb (earth) with his sister and wife, Tefnut (moisture). Shu was considered, as the air, a cooling and calming deity, and a such was associated with peace and order. Tawaret is a composite goddess with features of a lioness, crocodile, but primarily hippopotamus; all greatly feared but immensely respected animals in Egyptian beliefs. She is usually depicted in a striding pose, with arms at her sides and her gaze affixed in a forward direction.
