Description

Vintage Egyptian Faience Clay Amulet Mummy Talisman Ushabti Pendant Necklace Ancient Style
A nice vintage necklace of faience mummy beads and talisman. The necklace is on its original string (slips over the head/no clasp). Necklace consists of multicoloured disc-shaped beads, in red, blue and goldenrod. There is a central mummiform 'ushabti' pendant strung to the center.
The Egyptians used beaded jewelry to honor their dead or would wear jewelry made from faience beads in their everyday life. The ushabti was placed in a grave with a deceased person and intended to carry out work for them in the afterlife.
This is vintage so it will have aging and some surface wear. There are no breaks, cracks, chips or repairs.
Necklace measures approximately 29”. The pendant measures approximately 1/2” across by 2” high.
