Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Romano Egyptian Banded Agate Fly Bead



Beschreibung : Egypt, Romano-Egyptian Period, ca. 30 BCE to 2nd century CE. A petite fly-shaped bead which is hand-carved from banded agate boasting earthy brown veining throughout. The insect presents with resting wings, a rectangular body, and a bulbous head with protruding lateral eyes. The body is drilled lengthwise through the center of the body for suspension. Size: 0.425 W x 0.75 H (1.1 cm x 1.9 cm). According to scholar Dorothea Arnold, The ancient Egyptians…seemed to have held flies in high esteem, presumably because of this insect's powers of fast reaction and indomitable, insistent presence…[though] earlier fly amulets may have also served to ward off these annoying insects. (Arnold, Dorothea. An Egyptian Bestiary. The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, Spring 1995, Vol. LII, no. 4, p. 48) Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
