Collana-Pendente Scarabeo Egizio Faience
20,00 €
Lo Scarabeo, inconfondibile simbolo della cultura egizia, è da sempre utilizzato come amuleto protettivo.
Realizzato con i materiali più diversi, più o meno pregiati e di valore, è però comunemente conosciuto nella sua versione più diffusa: di colore blu-azzurro (blu egizio), sin dall’antichità veniva ricavato da un impasto di silice chiamato faience. La faience (faience egizia), ora sempre più rara e ricercata, è un’amalgama di terra argillosa rivestita poi da un sottile strato invetriato, simile alla maiolica, materiale ben più introvabile e tipico dell’artigianato faentino (Faenza e da qui il nome in francese): questo materiale vetroso ha un nucleo più ‘morbido’ mentre l’esterno è reso duro ed inscalfibile dal rivestimento vetroso.
Noto già nel periodo predinastico antecedente al 3150 a.C., non è da confondere con il più ordinario gesso, composto con il quale è fatta la maggioranza degli Scarabei odierni, meno pregiato e molto meno costosi. Montato su un laccio di cotone cerato verde scuro, regolabile nella misura, è rifinito con due sfere in legno colorato.
Ogni Scarabeo, essendo di produzione artigianale, può avere forma e dimensioni differenti.
Lo Scarabeo
Descrizione
Scarab, unmistakable symbol of Egyptian culture, has always been used as a protective amulet.
Made of different materials more or less precious and valuable, it is commonly known in its most popular version: the particular shade of blue of the scarab (Egyptian Blue) since ancient times was made from a mixture of silica called faience.
The faience (Egyptian faience), now increasingly rare and sought after, is an amalgam of clay then coated with a thin glazed layer, like the majolica, material far more unobtainable and typical of Faenza handicrafts (Faenza and hence the name in French): this glass material has a ‘softer’ core, while the exterior is made from tough and scratch-resistant glass coating.
Known already in the pre-dynastic period prior to 3150 BC, the faience is not to be confused with the ordinary chalk, less valuable and much less expensive substance with which the majority of the Scarabs are made today.
Mounted on a waxed cotton lace in a dark green shade and adjustable in its length, the necklace is finished with two spheres in colored wood.
Each Scarab, being of handicraft production, can have different shape and size.
