All auctions / Ancient Art / Superb Egyptian Talisman necklace in 800 silver - Cairo...
Top-notch Egyptian Talisman Necklace in 800 silver, Cairo 1968 — 80.7 grams Remarkable traditional Egyptian necklace in solid silver, a testament to exceptional artisanal craftsmanship from the late 1960s. Manufactured and stamped in Cairo, this jewel stands out for its rich ornamentation and strong symbolic charge. A true masterpiece of popular and Bedouin goldsmithing, the adornment is designed as a protective talisman. It comprises a richly adorned articulated chain with numerous movable pendants, leading to an imposing central openwork dome pendant. Under this radiant motif hang delicate crescent moons (hilal), symbols of femininity and renewal, as well as a conical element finished with movable charms. The rustle produced by the pendants as they move gives this piece a traditional apotropaic function (intended to ward off the evil eye). Technical characteristics: Origin: Egypt (Cairo Control Bureau). Era: Circa 1968-1970. Metal: Solid silver, fineness 800/1000 (presence of official era stamps). Total weight: 80.7 grams
