Description: | Necklace of blue (light and dark) beads with centre fringe of blue beads (in centre 3 orange and 4 white beads) hanging down. Central double tier. Zigzag pattern. Threaded on white cotton with white cotton tassels at either end., "…blue and purple-glaze collar beads, etc., from Harageh 1914. Egyptian XII. Dynasty." (Annual Report, 1914)., Harageh was excavated in the winter of 1913-1914 by R Engelbach and B Gunn, contemporaries of Petrie who was excavating the nearby site of Lahun at the time.
The cemeteries at Harageh have a range of dates. The earliest are predynastic (before 3100 BC) and then the place is used again as a cemetery from the late Old Kingdom c.2300 BC through to the New Kingdom ending in c.1069. Later during the Coptic phase it was used again.
The registry file includes correspondence from Petrie about a donation from the British School of Archaeology which included this object.
