The ancient Egyptians created stunning jewelry in a wide variety of materials, from metals such as gold and copper to glass and semi-precious gemstones. This new exhibition at Glencairn Museum features pieces from the Museum vault that invite visitors to explore how both the living and the dead of this ancient culture used jewelry to adorn, to protect, and to express devotion to the divine.
