This 2 3/8-inch x 1/2-inch tube bead is made from two
blended colors of faience turquoise blue on each end
and lapis blue in the middle. This magnificent bead is
one solid piece.
Faience or Egyptian Paste is an ancient form of clay.
Items found in King Tutankhamun's tomb were made
from this type of clay. The unique quality of this clay
is that the glaze is in the clay and it comes to the sur-
face when fired.
The bead hangs on a black adjustable cord that ex-
tends from 18-inches to 38-inches.
