An Ancient Egyptian restrung necklace consisting of faience beads and amulets. Turquoise tubular beads alternate with small, flattened discs in cream faience. Gradually increasing in size, polychromatic petal amulets are interspersed between the tubular beads. Each amulet features a red collar with a mauve body. Please note the necklace is unclasped and ends in a coiled wire loop. Jewellery was highly important throughout all of Ancient Egyptian history, worn across social classes, and by both women and men. Bright colours and patterns were exceedingly popular, as were bold, large pieces. Beaded necklaces were especially common. These necklaces were often made from beads of all different colours, sizes, and materials, arranged artfully to create an eye-catching piece. Measurements: L 46.5 cm Provenance: From an early 20th century UK collection.
