Description

This oval bead of blue faience with two eyes for suspending originally was a part of a broad beaded collar. Dating of a separate unprovenanced bead causes a problem, however, necklaces incorporating such pendants were manufactured in abundance in the 18th dynasty.

Object''s History

Information on the provenance of the majority of Egyptian monuments in the Hermitage is insufficient. In the cases when an object is included into Golenischeff's Catalogue of 1891 without any reference to its history, it is reasonable to associate it with the Castiglione collection, the principal source of Aegyptiaca in the nineteenth century.
