An Ancient Egyptian restrung bracelet consisting of small flattened disc-shaped faience beads in a variety of dark brown tones. The central part of the bracelet has three larger, spherical faience beads: a blue-grey coloured bead flanked by two ochre coloured beads. In between the three beads are smaller flattened discs alternating between brown, red and cream. The bracelet is restrung on elastic.

Faience is a glazed ceramic known for producing bright colours, especially blues, turquoises and greens. It is produced from quartz or sand crystals mixed with other compounds, finished with a vitreous alkaline glaze to the surface. Faience glimmers in the light and was believed by the Egyptians to represent rebirth and immortality. During the Predynastic period only green and blue faience occurred, however from the Old Kingdom and onwards alternative colours such as black, yellow and red were added to the palette. The colours had different symbolisms, for example, blue was thought to reflect fertility and life. Faience was manufactured into amulets and jewellery, the substance was used to create scarabs, furniture and cups.

Measurements: Internal diameter circa 5.5 cm.

Provenance: Ex early 20th century UK Collection.

Circa 1550-1070 BC
