Notes
This bead of grayish steatite, with traces of greenish glaze, has three lateral perforations. The designs are carved in high relief within a rectangular frame. On one side is the Apis bull wearing a disk between its horns and a heavy necklace. Above his back are lotus blossoms and a palmette of ancient near eastern type. The opposite face has three columns of hieroglyphs, the outer ones giving the names of King Amasis. The central column reads "The good-god, lord-of-the-two-lands, may he live eternally.For the latest information about this object, beads (pierced objects), visit art.thewalters.org. | Dynasty: 26th Dynasty | Inscriptions: | Reign: Amasis (570-526 BC) | Style: | more | less
