Egyptian blue faience appears in these dramatic ancient beads.  Faience was an inexpensive ceramic paste made from crushed quartz and is thought to be a forerunner of glass. The process was known from before 3000 BC and the recipe was a closely guarded secret.  Soft earth tones and sky colors were frequently used in beadwork.  The Egyptian hieroglyph for bead indicated "luck."

This necklace has hundreds of beads of several different sizes, types and shapes and one faience deity amulet.  The beads were not originally strung. All beads in this lot are guaranteed to be 2500 to 4000 years old.
