Ancient Egyptian Terracotta Beaded necklace. - 100 cm

Collar of terracotta beads re-strung – Ancient Egypt Elegant necklace composed of numerous terracotta beads, from ancient Egyptian tradition, currently strung forming a long strand of approximately 40 cm in length. The beads, small in size — approximately 3 to 5 mm — feature a characteristic discoidal and cylindrical shape, with slight irregularities typical of manual production. They retain an attractive range of natural tones, from ochres and sands to browns and darker earthy tones, creating a particularly harmonious ensemble. The matte surface, the color variations and the small signs of wear add to the piece a marked archaeological presence. The considerable length of the necklace allows appreciating the rhythmic succession of the beads and gives it an important decorative effect, whether displayed in a vitrine or presented on a stand. Cultural provenance: Ancient Egypt Material: Terracotta Total length: approx. 100 cm Bead diameter: approx. 4 mm Condition: in keeping with its age, with wear, deposits and tonal variations typical of the material. An intimate and evocative piece, representative of the tradition of personal ornamentation in ancient Egypt, especially attractive for a collection of Mediterranean and Oriental archaeology.
