(63.5 cm) long NOTES For a related necklace in the Walters Art Gallery, said to be from Egypt, see no. 328 in Oliver in Garside, ed., Jewelry, Ancient to Modern . Oliver sites other examples, also said to be from Egypt, one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and one in the Kunsthistorische Museum, and a fourth found in the Hadra cemetery of Alexandria, which confirms the supposed Egyptian provenance of this style of necklace.
