Reproduction Egyptian Style Bracelet?

Would love to here some thoughts on this piece. I bought it at a general sale with a few other bits and have no idea where it came from.

Looks like a piece of jewellery in Eqyption style? Possibly a Grand Tour souvinir?

The cats seem to be carved from stone rather than made from clay.

Thanks!

 

those look like molds of some kind and I can't see how one would wear it.....bracelet or otherwise.....

imo

 

I agree Komokwa, that was my first thought but there's a broken piece that doesn't look like composite when you look closely. Maybe it is though?




It came with this which looks to me like a "see no evil" monkey.. Its about 2" tall.

 

all I can add is that sometimes, stuff comes with stuff, that ain't from the same stuff....

 

Thats true Just thought id share since they do have a similar look and came from the same place. In the same lot was also a roman style oil lamp and some small (6") sarcophagus figures of the same appearance. I suspect that they are all copies of ancient artefacts, maybe quite old, maybe not.

 

Jackals/dogs, rather than cats. Cats are depicted differently. The beads may well be ancient, they're found widely and aren't expensive.

 

Thanks ownedbybear

 

The blue tubular ones look like mummy beads to me. The jackal/dog (@Ownedbybear is right)
pieces could be modern. Hard to say.

I'd like to see the wee sarcophagi. They may be ushabti.

 

Thanks a lot Scracci, thats really helpful. The beads look reparably similar to mine

 

@Ownedbybear here's a couple of pictures of the sarcophagi as well as the roman style lamp

Thanks again
