Description

8 beads, green-blue glazed, inscribed with cartouche of Neferkare (Shabako).

8 faience (glazed ware) beads with the name of Shabako, who was the third ruler of the Nubian Dynasty 25. It is likely that the beads were directly connected to the royal house or to an official because they include the name of the king.
