Dress composed of beads
Faience and turquoise Old Kingdom (2686-2181 BC)
The use in daily life of bead dresses in network pattern has been attested from wall representations or feminine statues; only two real dresses have been preserved.
More abundant and better attested are the bead dresses with funerary purpose; they were put on the mummy and they hold divine representations linked to resurrection and protection of the deceased as the winged scarab.
