- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate to Late Dynastic Period, 21st to 31st Dynasty, ca. 1070 to 332 BCE. A beautiful necklace of a wearable form strung with dozens of tubular, barrel, and seed-form faience beads covered in layers of polychrome glaze. Slender tubular beads are interspersed throughout groups of petite beads with two white-hued, barrel-shaped beads near the center, one with incised latticework motifs and the other with several protruding nodules. Draped in the center is a hand-carved lapis lazuli grape pendant of a teardrop form with a tapered top and a bulbous body that is bifurcated with a vertical striation. Strung in modern times and capped with a silver-plated loop and lobster clasp combo, this is a decadent example of ancient art meets modern fashion! Size (necklace): 21.5" L (54.6 cm); largest bead (lapis): 0.4" W x 0.75" H (1 cm x 1.9 cm)

Thames and Hudson in association with The Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, 1998, p. 151, fig. 149.
