This is the rating and price for Papyrus Circular Pendant



Description : Ancient Egypt, probably Hellenistic or Ptolemaic periods, ca. 332 to 30 BCE. A simple, elegant, modern necklace design, with a thin chain made of several strands of narrow silver wire holding a square glass locket, with simple silver border. Inside the locket, occupying one half of the space is a fragment of papyrus that has been written upon by hand. The script appears to be in Greek or maybe Coptic, giving this a later date, the layers of folded papyus are clear to see, which is evidence of how this versatile material was reused over time.
