content: From NMNH Exhibit Hall "Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt" label for this artifact, 2011: 3 stone and faience necklaces 404-332 B. C. (probable). Wrapped around the mummy's neck, beads helped restore breath through the symbolism of their colors. Blue, green and black called up water, sky, vegetation and youth. White, yellow and red beads stood for sun, light, fire and blood.
