Amarna faience is by FAR the most sought after by discriminating collectors. It's bright colours and detailed depictions illustrate the pinnacle of Egyptian expression in the medium of faience. This fantastically rare object typifies this highest standard of faience production. This is an exceedingly rare piece of faience from the Amarna Period, circa the reign of Akhenaten - 1353-1336 BCE. The piece measures 12.5 mm. This is a very fine, rich yellow and blue faience amulet depicting a mandrake fruit, which was originally an element in a large, pectoral necklace. Condition: Pristine, choice and intact. Nothing repaired or restored. Provenance provided to purchaser. |
