Description
This is vintage circa 1000 BC necklace restrung with mummy beads and heart amulet. For the ancient Egyptians, the heartwas the source of intelligence, feelings, and actions. A person's memory was also housed in the heart and so at the judgment ceremony (Weighing of the Heart) in the afterlife, the heart was able to speak on behalf of the deceased, accounting to Osiris for a lifetime of deeds. Therefore, heart amulets were used on the mummy to protect the owner's organ and to ensure that his heart gave a positive response at judgment.
Length: 18 inches (457 mm). Made of lapis. Condition is good, some wear of age. See photos for more details.
