In the age of David and Solomon, a bracelet such as this might have adorned the arm of a person of rank. Heavy and simple, it radiates a quiet authority, a no-nonsense approach to power. There is nothing frivolous about such a jewel, yet its simplicity makes it very appealing to modern sensibilities. Time has given the bronze a mottled green patina like some rare gem. As we slip it onto our own arm today, we cannot help but wonder whose arm it rested on so long ago. - (FZ.269)   « Less

Origin: Egypt (Sinai) Circa: 1600 BC to 1100 BC Collection: Egyptian Medium: Faience-Gold Additional Information: Necklace consisting of genuine Egyptian New Kingdom  More »

Origin: Egypt (Sinai) Circa: 1600 BC to 1100 BC Collection: Egyptian Medium: Faience-Gold Additional Information: Necklace consisting of genuine Egyptian New Kingdom faience beads, an 18 karat gold Anke (The Egyptian symol of life), and an 18 karat gold clasp. Most ancient Egyptian beads were made of faience, a glass-composite glaze which was introduced as early as the Pre-Dynastic period. According to Egyptologists, most beads were made on an axis, probably of thread, which would burn up during firing, leaving a hole. Disc, ring and tubular beads were made by coating the axis with the unfired body-paste, rolling the cylinder to an even diameter on a flat surface, and then scoring it with a knife into sections of the desired length. Other shapes, such as ball beads, were rolled between the hands and perforated while still wet with a stiff point such as a wire needle. The beads were then dried, coating with glaze (if the glaze had not already been mixed with the paste), and fired. The firing process often gave the beads a beautiful translucent quality. The majority of faience beads are blue or green in color, but black, red yellow and white ones were also produced, especially in the New Egyptian Kingdom. - (FJ.1082)   « Less
