Αρχαίο Αιγυπτιακό βραχιόλι με χάντρες φαινείας – Έσχατη Περίοδος (664–332 π.Χ.)

Ένα αυθεντικό βραχιόλι με χάντρες από φαινεία, χρονολογία Έσχατης Περιόδου της αρχαίας Αιγύπτου, συν composed of a restrung
group of small annular beads in alternating shades of deep blue and pale white. The beads
are predominantly faience, with some elements possibly formed from shell, reflecting common
material practices of the period.

Faience held deep symbolic significance in Ancient Egypt, associated with regeneration,
protection, and rebirth, and was widely used in personal adornment across all social strata.
Bracelets of this type were worn both in daily life and for ritual or funerary purposes.

The bracelet presents a harmonious rhythm of colour and texture, with natural surface wear
consistent with age. It has been professionally restrung to ensure stability while preserving the
integrity of the original components.
