Antique Egyptian VERY LARGE Faience Pottery Blue Scarab Beetles Bib Necklace 20"

Description

This is an absolutely fantastic antique Egyptian faience pottery scarab beetle bib style necklace. These scarabs are huge measuring 1 3/8 +/- with variation between each hand crafted bead. The necklace is a sturdy link and measures about 20 inches long closing with a larger spring ring clasp. It is so hard to date these beads but given my research and experience I would say these are early 19th century, possibly earlier (I believe they were crafted into a necklace in the Victorian era). Each bead has its own unique hieroglyphs which are very detailed. The necklace is in good vintage condition with a nice warm patina to the metal and no broken beads. The beads show wear with age which only adds to their charm and story. This is such an unusual ans special piece, it will make a very admirable addition to your collection!
