Literature

Cf. Aldred, C., Jewels of the Pharaohs. Egyptian Jewellery of the Dynastic Period, London, 1971, p.135 no.125, and p.231, for an elaborate Amarna necklace incorporating similarly shaped bi-chrome petal-shaped pendant beads.

Footnotes

Petal-shaped beads of faience and glass were widely used in jewellery during the Amarna Period. During this era, advanced production methods enabled the creation of bi-chrome and polychrome designs, which often included newly developed colours. This resulted in vibrant necklaces that resembled festive collars made of natural floral elements.
