Includes 5 hieroglyph charms.
In great pre owned condition.
Vintage.
The pendants on the necklace include:
A falcon or eagle-like bird
This strongly resembles the ancient Egyptian deity Horus, often depicted as a falcon or a man with a falcon's head, symbolizing kingship and the sky.
Winged symbol:
This could represent various Egyptian deities or concepts associated with protection, divinity, or the heavens.
Eye-shaped symbol:
This resembles the Eye of Horus or the Eye of Ra, powerful protective symbols in ancient Egyptian mythology.
Ankh-like symbol:
This is a well-known ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol representing "life" or "breath of life."
Wavy lines:
These could represent water, the primordial waters of creation, or the Nile River in ancient Egyptian symbolism.
These pendants are characteristic of Egyptian Revival jewelry, which became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often inspired by archaeological discoveries such as the tomb of Tutankhamun. The MMA produced a line of jewelry inspired by ancient Egyptian artifacts, including pieces for the "Treasures of Tutankhamun" exhibit.
