Description
Row of disc-shaped beads with straight edges. These beads were fashioned in roughly circular fragments of ostrich eggshell. They were then perforated with a bow saw and the sides polished in order to give them a more circular shape. This material was highly appreciated by ancient Nubian people, who used it for corporal ornaments as well as for decorating clothing and animal-skin covers.

Un rang de perles discoïdes, à la tranche droite. Ces perles étaient façonnées dans des éclats (tests) de coquille d'oeuf d'autruche grossièrement circulaires. Ils étaient ensuite perforés avec un archet, puis les bords polis afin d'obtenir une forme circulaire. Cette matière est très prisée par les populations nubiennes anciennes qui l'ont utilisée tant pour les ornements corporels que pour décorer vêtements et couvertures de peaux.
