Item Description: Translate description
A rare and visually compelling Egyptian necklace composed of faience beads and a central miniature silver ushabti, dating to the Ptolemaic period, circa 3rd–1st century BC. The necklace features alternating small disk and tubular beads in vibrant blue-green faience, a material symbolic of fertility, renewal, and divine protection. At its center hangs a delicately cast silver ushabti, a miniature funerary figure shown in mummiform pose with arms crossed—believed to serve the deceased in the afterlife. The use of silver is particularly notable, as it was considered rarer than gold in ancient Egypt and carried lunar and divine associations. This necklace likely held dual significance: as a protective amulet worn during life and as a ritual offering in burial. A highly collectible and unusual piece combining precious metal with traditional faience craftsmanship.
