Tit (Isis knot) amulet

Ancient Egypt, Late Period, 664 - 332 BC

MATERIAL: Red Jasper.

SIZE: Height 4.1 cm, height with stand 6.2 cm.

PROVENANCE: Private collection, Paris, France. Acquired around the 1980s.

CONDITION: Intact.

DESCRIPTION:
Some of the glass amulets from the later Late Period through the Ptolemaic Period can be specifically tied to spells of the Book of the Dead. For example, red is the preferred color for the tit knot: Book of the Dead chapter 156 prescribes a tit knot of red jasper at the throat of the deceased to provide him / her with the protection of Isis.
This tit knot is blocky and not completely worked out. Presumably it meant to be wrapped between the bandages of the mummy where the presence of the amulet would do its job irrespective of its degree of finish.




Notes:
- The piece includes authenticity certificate.
- The piece includes Spanish Export License.
- The seller guarantees that he acquired this piece according to all national and international laws related to the ownership of cultural property. Provenance statement seen by Catawiki.
