Description from the seller
Necklace of terracotta beads – Ancient Egypt
Elegant necklace composed of numerous terracotta beads, from ancient Egyptian tradition, currently strung forming a long strand of approximately 1 meter in length.
The beads, small in size — approximately 4 mm — have a characteristic discoidal and cylindrical shape, with slight irregularities inherent to manual fabrication. They preserve an attractive range of natural tones, from ochers and sands to browns and darker earthy tones, creating a specially harmonious ensemble.
The matte surface, color variations and small signs of wear contribute to the piece a marked archaeological presence. The considerable length of the necklace allows appreciating the rhythmic sequence of the beads and gives it an important decorative effect, whether exhibited in a display case or presented on a stand.
Cultural provenance: Ancient Egypt
Material: Terracotta
Total length: approx. 100 cm
Bead diameter: approx. 4 mm
Conservation status: in keeping with its age, with wear, deposits and tonal variations typical of the material.
A piece of intimate and evocative character, representative of the tradition of personal adornment in ancient Egypt, especially attractive for a Mediterranean and Oriental archaeology collection.
