Description

An ancient Phoenician painted terracotta bead. Circa 500 to 300 BC. The bead is of an almost round shape with raised relief and a dotted polychrome pattern over the entire surface, reminiscent of many eyes. Beads with the so called Raised Eyes pattern were used as amulets to protect against evil forces and bring good luck. Historical Collectibles, Archaeological Finds, And Relics.
