    Description

    This auction is for the genuine Ancient Egyptian Beads shown in the photo.
    Buyer will receive the exact beads shown in the photo.
    They probably can be made into jewelry but from my photo you can obviously see that they show signs of their age and many are not in quite as good of condition that they were 2000 years ago (A few may be broken).
    These beads date from around 700BC to roughly 300BC. They are made of a ceramic paste called "Faience". They were worn as jewelry by both men and women - especially poor people who could not afford gemstones wore faience beads. Large quantities of these beads were often found in late dynastic Egyptian graves (Hence the modern name "Mummy Beads").
    I have LOTS of ancient beads and other artifacts to list this summer so be sure to bookmark me in your favorite sellers list!
