Description: | Necklace of pierced rectangular green and blue glazed beads and figures of the god Ptah. Flat white disk-like beads at each end. Four figures suspended from the centre, one of which has its end broken off and missing. Strung on white cotton thread. Gerzeh flourished in pre-dynastic Egypt from c.3600 to the unification of Egypt c.3100 BC. Grave goods from the site include iron beads discovered in 1911 which are the oldest known fashioned iron objects. Lapis Lazuli artefacts which orginated in Afghanistan suggest that there was a trade link with Asia.
The registry file includes correspondence from Petrie and the entire donation from the British School of Archaeology.
