This agate carnelian amulet bead, from Coptic Byzantine Egypt, demonstrates the spiritual artisanship of the era. The material, with its banded warmth, was often chosen for amulets for its believed protective properties. Its form and size suggest it may have been strung with others like it, worn for both adornment and safeguarding. The bead connects us to a time where symbolism and function were beautifully intertwined.
