Description   

These faïence necklace elements were excavated at Amarna. The individual beads were made in molds and small ring beads were attached later to allow stringing. The triangular necklace terminal in the shape of a lotus blossom was pierced with holes for the necklace threads before it was fires. The beads include palm fronds (green), lotus petals (white), dates (gree, blue and red), bunches of grapes (dark blue), cornflowers (green, blue and white), persea fruit (yellow) and dom-palm fruit (red).
