- Lot Description
Egypt, Romano-Egyptian period, ca. 30 BCE to 5th century CE. A beautiful necklace of a wearable form composed with dozens of faience and glass beads in wondrous blue colors. The beads take on circular, fluted, and barrel-shaped forms, with several 'eye' beads bearing petite concentric circles that resemble an ocular orb staring back out at the viewer. The largest bead is a triangular pendant with a horizontal suspension tube along the upper periphery. Glass and faience are some of Egypt's most noteworthy additions to ancient jewelry, and Roman occupation of Egypt only increased the beauty and abundance of these beads. Beads like those on this necklace were elegant and stylish examples of what those in the ancient world valued in terms of aesthetic beauty. A wearable example of ancient art meets modern fashion made wearable with a silver-plated loop and ring clasp. Size (necklace): 22.6" L (57.4 cm); (triangular pendant): 1.2" W x 1.125" H (3 cm x 2.9 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Anne de Uribe Echebarria collection, New York, USA, acquired between the 1930s and 1960s
