| Meer info | Often made from the desert sand but possessing the allure of gold and semiprecious gems, the ceramic today known as Egyptian faience was both a versatile and magical material. From late predynastic to Roman times it was shaped into myriad objects, such as amulets, chalices, beads, jewelry, animal and human figurines, inkwells, dolls, game boards, inlays and tiles, and used by many Egyptians, especially royalty and the court circle. Colourless when it entered the kiln, faience was transformed by firing into the sparkling blue of the Egyptian sky and a wide range of other scintillating colours. More than just a practical and useful material, however, faience was imbued by the ancient Egyptians with great symbolic significance--resplendent with radiance and filled with the shimmer of celestial light, it was the perfect metaphor for life, rebirth and immortality. |
