Ancient Egypt, Late Period Lapis and glass Earrings (No reserve price)

These Late Period Ancient Egyptian earrings showcase craftsmanship with lapis lazuli and glass materials, typical of jewelry from roughly 664 to 332 BCE. Lapis lazuli, a deep blue semi-precious stone, was highly prized in Egypt for its vibrant color and symbolic associations with royalty and protection. Glass beads replicated precious stones and offered varied hues for decorative purposes. Earrings were common adornments in Egyptian culture, reflecting social status and spiritual beliefs. The combination of lapis lazuli and glass highlights the artisans' skill in blending natural and manufactured materials to create elegant personal ornaments that have endured through millennia.
