Consisting of numerous rows of tubular or teardrop-shaped beads - often made of faience, gold or semi-precious stones - the necklace was a staple of Egyptian fashion from the Old to the New Kingdom. Its representations were not to be missed as decoration associated with the furnishings of the dead, usually in cartonage form. The word \"cartonage\" in the context of ancient Egyptian culture has two meanings. First, it means a material - linen (sometimes papyrus), glued together with plaster, which is somewhat reminiscent of today's m\u00e2ch\u00e9 paper. Second, it means a type of coffin made of such material, painted and gilded.       <\/span><\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cartonage (canvas covered with gypsum and polychrome) with a depiction of a wide necklace called a &#8220;usekh&#8221; collar, ancient Egypt, 1st millennium B.C.
