Egyptian Faience Beaded Necklace Multi-Strands

**Originally Listed At $250**

Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate to Late Dynastic Period, 21st to 31st Dynasty, ca. 1070 to 332 BCE. A fabulous necklace comprised from dozens of slender, tubular faience beads that exhibit layers of lustrous glaze. The singular strands that rest behind the neck taper down to modern fluted silver spacer caps, and beneath these silver 'petals' the necklace splits into six even strands. Strung in modern times and capped with a silver-plated loop and lobster clasp combo, this is a wonderful and wearable example of ancient Egyptian art meets modern fashion! Size: 18.75" L x 0.325" W x 0.1" H (47.6 cm x 0.8 cm x 0.3 cm)
