Handcrafted here at Mini Museum, this unique necklace features a fragment of Egyptian Papyrus sealed in optically-clear glass and set inside a fine silver pendant (99.9% silver). The pendant has a brushed texture designed to complement this ancient material.

As pictured above, the necklace comes with a handsome display/storage box and a small information card that also serves as the certificate of authenticity. All other components of the necklace are sterling silver, including the 18" (45cm) box-style chain.

The specimen itself comes from a collection of fragmented papyri collected over many years by a German dealer of antiquities.

Important Care Note: Each fragment is sealed by hand, so while the papyrus is well protected still we recommend that you try to avoid water while wearing this item. Normal wear is absolutely fine, just don't try to swim across the Nile.

Sizing: The pendant measures roughly 4/5" in diameter (20mm). The specimen itself is roughly 7mm in length, though size and shape do vary widely.
