Another "Mummy Necklace" of Exceptional Faience Beads. Egypt, New Kingdom, c. 1550-1070 BC. Necklace comprised of eight strands to drape below the neck, with a single strand to clasp behind the neck. Each strand made up of alternating brilliant blue tubular and bright yellow disc beads. Again, these are superior quality beads -- glossy, with intense blues, many with a hint of green. The yellow discs are a rarer variety, where the single beads are made to look as if they are two. Necklace length: 18". An eye-catching artifact!
Estimated Value $600 - 700.
