Product Description

NEW KINGDOM
18th Dynasty

This jewelry combines the most popular and powerful colors of Dynastic Egypt. Blue represented heaven and red, symbolizing blood, represented life. Gold, with its enduring sheen reflected the powerful rays of the sun god. The original jewelry, found in the tomb of Tutankhamen, was made with faience (fired crushed quartz in various combinations) which was used regularly as a substitute for semiprecious tones. The jewelry of ancient Egypt often had talismanic properties and was believed to protect from harm

Materials: pewter with gold finish, epoxy, and lapis cabochon. Post earring.
Gift Box included

Made in the U.S.A.
