Description Egypt, Romano-Egyptian period, ca. 30 BCE to 2nd century CE. A stylish necklace that is defined by its cylindrical, ovoid, spherical, conjoined, and melon-form beads made from opaque and nearly opaque glass in hues of green, turquoise, blue, yellow, and teal. The beads split into two strands halfway down the length of the necklace, creating a double band of ancient beads. Strung in modern times and fastened with a silver-plated loop and lobster clasp combo, this is a beautiful example of modern fashion combined with ancient art! Length of strand: 19" L (48.3 cm); size of beads are approximately: 0.1" W (0.3 cm)
Provenance: private Dunn collection, Coral Springs, Florida, USA, acquired in the 1990s
