Descripción : An Egyptian Red Jasper Sweret Bead, Middle Kingdom, ca. 2040-1783 BC, In ancient Egypt, ornaments for the neck are a direct development of charms strung upon a cord. At one extreme they become pectorals: at the other, collars. The pebble, polished, perforated and threaded on a string of leather or linen is one of the more common amulets found beginning in predynastic times. This primitive jewel survived in the barrel-shaped red jasper sweret-bead, becoming part of the essential personal adornments for funerary rituals during the Middle Kingdom. Hung around the neck or on the breast of the deceased, such beads were initially worn singularly on a cord tied closely to the throat or flanked either end by a round or cylindrical bead of green faience or feldspar. This carnelian sweret bead, a most important prescribed funerary amulet. OUR GUARANTEE: We hereby certify the above item to be authentic and due diligence conducted to ensure stated provenance.
