Item Details
Description
This lot includes two exquisite glass beads from the Islamic Period in Egypt, dating from the 9th to the 15th century. Each bead measures between 14 to 17 mm, showcasing the intricate 'trailed' and 'eyed' designs characteristic of the period. These techniques involved applying threads of glass to the bead's surface to create patterns and motifs, often resembling eyes, which were believed to protect against the evil eye. The beads' rich colors and complex patterns reflect the high level of skill and artistry achieved by Islamic glassmakers. Their condition and patina bear witness to the centuries they have endured. These beads are not only decorative elements but also carry cultural and historical significance, representing the fusion of artistic practices and spiritual beliefs during a vibrant period of Islamic art.
