- Lot Description
Egypt, Ptolemaic Period, ca. 332 to 30 BCE. A beautiful gessoed cartonnage broad collar of a semicircular form, with a flat neck line detailed with a winged sun disc flanked by twin uraei, and a pair of falcon-headed terminals, each with a solar disc above their head. Bands of alternating blue, black, and red pigment are presented on a white ground both above and below the neck details. Eight concentric bands surround a central checkerboard-patterned section and display elaborately-painted circular, feathered, square, and drop-form motifs in cream, turquoise, garnet, jet, and periwinkle hues. The collar is set against its original light-brown textile backing. Mounted on a wooden frame inside a lucite cover.
