This is an incredible Egyptian ushabti necklace! I believe that this piece dates to the 1920s, and isn't an ancient Egyptian item; however, I can't say for certain. It has a lot of natural looking wear, but it's likely that it was simply made to look ancient. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful faience necklace, with lovely soft colors and varied tube shaped beads.
The necklace measures 50.2 cm (or 19.8 inches) in length, and the dimensions of the ushabti figure are 1.7 cm x 5.5. cm. There is wear to the ushabti figure, some wear to the glaze, a few areas that have chipped away, and similar areas of wear to the beads.
