This is the rating and price for Egyptian Faience Rings



Description : **Originally Listed At $400** Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Periods, ca. 712 to 30 BCE. Three stirrup-shaped, bright blue faience finger rings, each one with a flat face bearing a symbol. One represents Wedjat, better known as the Eye of Horus, the second depicts an ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol for life and longevity, and the third presents a kneeling and winged representation of Isis, a protective goddess and one of the oldest deities in the Egyptian pantheon. These ring bezels were made using a clay mold, and demonstrate the level of skill that the ancient Egyptians had attained in working with faience. The rings depicting the Wedjat and Isis are too small to be worn (US sizes between 0.25 and 0.5), and the ring displaying an ankh is a US size 5. Size of largest: 0.75 W (1.9 cm).
