Item Description: Translate description
A striking large faience bead necklace from Ptolemaic Egypt, dating to approximately 332–30 BC. The necklace is composed of dozens of tubular and disk-shaped faience beads in varying shades of blue, green, and turquoise—colors symbolizing fertility, life, and rebirth in ancient Egyptian culture. These types of necklaces were commonly worn in life and often placed with the deceased in burials as protective amulets. Faience, a glazed non-clay ceramic material, was widely used in Egypt due to its symbolic associations and lustrous, gem-like finish. This well-matched strand may have been restrung in modern times for preservation and display, but the beads themselves are authentic and representative of elite Ptolemaic-period adornment.
