1102.jpg

This necklace has been reconstructed from beads scattered around in the same tomb in the Meroitic cemetery at Aksha. The central bead, made of gilded glass, is framed by two green tubular beads, adjacent to which are a series of small disc-shaped beads, coloured dark blue, yellow, turquoise blue, grey-white, and light blue.
