Ancient Egyptian jewellery Faience beaded necklace. Permeating every facet of Egyptian life, jewellery was worn at all levels of society for a variety of reasons. Used as decoration, a sign of rank or office, or a military or civil award, it could also serve as an amulet or provide protection. In death, jewellery could be taken to the tomb with its owner for use in the Afterlife and used for protection during the passage to the Other World. This faience necklace is made from cylindrical, and amuletic cat-shaped beads. The cat is the animal manifestation of Bastet, goddess of festivity and fertility.
