Altägyptisch Fayence Paar Perlen (Ohne Mindestpreis)
A fine selection of two Egyptian, turquoise-glazed, faience beads. The rounded rectangular beads are decorated with a large incised X motif and ridged on the outside. Both beads are pierced vertically for suspension. Earthly encrustations and signs of wear as consistent with age to the surface, such as some loss of glaze, chipping and pitting to the surface.
The Egyptians wore amulets alongside other pieces of jewellery. They were decorative, but also served a practical purpose, being considered to bestow power and protection upon the wearer. Many of the amulets have been found inside the wrappings of mummies, as they were used to prepare the deceased for the afterlife.
Diameters: L 1.9-2.0cm x W 1.5-1.6cm x H 0.6-0.7cm
Provenance: Ex. early 20th century U.K. collection
