Items #962-969 are
ancient jewelry mounted for contemporary wear. These were supplied to a
small group of art galleries over the past two decades and include
ancient elements, pendants, beads, etc. remounted on a fine sterling
silver necklace. All are genuine gem stones, laboriously hand shaped
and polished and worn in antiquity. Each comes in a gift box with
descriptive certification of authenticity and makes a truly unique gift.
Predynastic Period,
before 3200 BC. 19.0 mm, 3/4. Tear shaped drilled at the top for
suspension. Streaky clear/gray/brown coloration. Hand work very
evident. Agate was used for the burial amulets of the kings and queens
of ancient Egypt and is the birthstone for September.
