Description
Ancient Faience Egyptian Scarab Necklace
Potentially dating back to the period between 400 and 300 BCE, this ancient Egyptian style necklace embodies the aesthetic principles of the time. It features a light turquoise faience scarab as the centerpiece - a motif frequently used in ancient Egyptian art, symbolizing rebirth and regeneration due to the scarab beetle's life cycle.
Accompanying the scarab centerpiece, the necklace is adorned with a combination of turquoise, brown, blue, and black faience beads. Faience, a ceramic-like material made from crushed quartz or sand with a soda-lime silica glaze, was frequently used in Egyptian jewelry for its versatility and vibrant color possibilities. The beads' color arrangement could carry symbolic meaning, with each color potentially representing various aspects of Egyptian culture or mythology.
The necklace's structure is fortified with gold mounts and connectors, and which may be from a later period.
