Summary
| Description |
English: This is a reconstructed faience collar of faience beads, with four rows of cylinder beads, arranged vertically. Each row is bordered by a horizontal row of cylinder beads. At the bottom are 13 pendants and a loop border made up of more cylinder beads. There is a semi-circular terminal at each end of the collar.
These beads are original and date from the First Intermediate Period of Egypt (2125-2055 BC). They were discovered at the site of Sedment, Middle Egypt and were donated to the Manchester Museum by the British School of Archaeology in Egypt (1920-1921). Its Manchester Museum Accession No is Acc.6620 Faience was a very versatile material and extremely well suited to making small items such as elements of jewellery. The material, sometimes termed 'glazed composition' from the technique used, is a non-pottery ceramic that was produced by heating crushed quartz and natron, with a pigment, until they fused. Pottery moulds were used to make small objects, such as necklace elements and amulets. |
