Middle Kingdom This necklace of graded blue faience ball beads was found lying over the chest of Wah's mummy in the same layer of wrappings as three scarab bracelets (40.3.12-40.3.14). The beads were strung on several strands of linen thread that were then sewn to the thicker ties of twisted linen cord. Tied around the mummy's neck in a slightly higher layer of wrappings were four necklaces: one of gold beads (40.3.17); one of silver beads (40.3.19); one strung with beads of a variety of shapes and materials (40.3.16); and another of blue faience beads (40.3.18).

Culture: American. Dimensions: 16 in. (40.6 cm). Maker: George W. Shiebler & Co. (1876-1907). Date: ca. 1880.This chain link silver-gilt necklace is composed of circular double links with a simple hook and eye closure. Fifteen circular pendant medallions, imitating ancient coins, are attached to the chain by single links. The medallions are graduated, each one featuring a unique classical head in profile, stamped in low relief. Though the profiles are finely delineated, the bodies of the medallions were finished with an irregular hammered surface. George W. Shiebler and Company was a highly innovative and influential New York City firm that produced a diverse array of artistic silver wares and jewelry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. During the later years of the nineteenth century a passion arose in both Europe and America for jewelry inspired by ancient coins, and this necklace is one example of the Shiebler firm's interpretation of that trend.
