despite repair done and small chip in bezel. Period: Egypt, 3rd Intermediate
Period, Dynasty 25. Dating: 747 BC656 BC.Origin: Egypt, Upper
Egypt, Thebes .Material: Faience. This is a wonderful Egyptian Faience
ring in wonderful condition. The bezel of the ring shows a cartouch
with hieroglyphics. The Eye of Horus is seen at the top. The ring is
between 2.5 and 3" inches around to get an idea of sizing. I am
guessing it to be between a size 8 and 9 US ring size. Rings such as
this were used as seals stamped into clay or wax and only used by individuals
of high importance such as Pharaohs, Viziers, High Priests etc. Rings
such as this are in rare supply which gives this piece a high value!
