Antique Ancient Egyptian Cat Bead Necklace Faience Tube Mummy 500-300 BC No Res!
This listing is for a wonderful strand of Ancient Egyptian Beads. They were purchased in the 1920s while traveling in Egypt. There are six cat beads plus a number of tubular and small yellow beads in between. We consulted a bead expert who said, "The "cats" have the design of the late period, the back of them is much more carved as opposed to stiff as in the early periods. My guess is about 500-300 BC. The small yellow beads that are on the necklace are newer." The strand (just the beads themselves) measures about 11 1/4" inches long, with the cats being about 7/8" tall. Four of the tubular beads are broken into two pieces. Please see the close-up photos below and contact us with any questions before bidding. We have a low opening bid, so don't miss your chance to win!
