Glencairn Museum
Bryn Athyn, United States

“Some of the earliest jewelry in Glencairn’s collection can be found on this necklace, which features amulets carved from a variety of semi-precious stones including carnelian, amethyst, quartz, and green feldspar. The forms include a frog, falcons, human legs, hearts, poppy flowers, and female-headed sphinxes.” (Jennifer Wegner, label text, “Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt”)
