Ancient Coptic Egypt Alabaster Flattened Barrel Bead, 3rd-7th Century AD

Item Details

Description

Ancient Coptic Egyptian bead, crafted from alabaster during the 3rd to 7th Century AD. The bead's dimensions are 27 mm in length, 18 mm in width, and 9 mm in depth, which is approximately 1.06 inches by 0.71 inches by 0.35 inches. It is shaped into a flattened barrel, a form that would have been common in the personal adornments of the time. Alabaster was a favored material in ancient Egypt, chosen for its smooth texture and the ease with which it could be carved. This bead exemplifies the Coptic period's continuity and transformation of earlier Egyptian traditions, merging them with new Christian influences. It could have been strung on a necklace or bracelet, serving both as a decorative element and a status symbol. The simplicity and elegance of this bead make it a subtle yet captivating reminder of Egypt's rich and complex history.
