Ancient Egyptian Terracotta Two beaded necklaces - 100 cm (No reserve price)

Two re-strung terracotta bead necklaces – Ancient Egypt

Elegant necklace composed of numerous terracotta beads, from ancient Egyptian tradition, currently strung in a long strand of approximately 100 cm in length.

The beads, small in size—approximately 3-4 mm—feature a distinctive discoidal and cylindrical shape, with slight irregularities inherent to their handmade manufacture. They retain an attractive range of natural tones, from ochres and sands to browns and darker earth tones, creating a particularly harmonious ensemble.

The matte surface, color variations, and small signs of wear give the piece a strong archaeological presence. The considerable length of the necklace allows appreciation of the rhythmic succession of the beads and confers a striking decorative effect, whether on display in a vitrine or presented on a support.
