Egyptian Faïence Tassle Earrings

These extraordinary tassle shaped faïence beads hail from the early dynasties of the Egyptian empire, where kings and queens were considerably adorned in life and in the afterlife as well. The beautiful shades of intense turquoise and blue here were much favoured in Egyptian ornament, and now hang from simple hammered domed posts of 22kt gold. Simply splendid!
