Ancient Egypt – Faience protective amulet of a standing female figure, possibly Shu
Late Period, c. 664–332 BC

Description:
This lot features a rare Ancient Egyptian faience amulet depicting a standing anthropomorphic
female figure, rendered in pale blue-green faience. The figure is shown frontally with a stylised
body and raised or extended arms, a pose commonly associated with protection, invocation, or
divine presence in personal and funerary amulets.

The precise identification of the figure is uncertain. While the overall form may tentatively recall
representations of Maat, the goddess of cosmic order and balance, the absence of her defining
ostrich feather attribute means the amulet is more cautiously interpreted as a generic protective
or votive figure, a type widely produced during the Late Period. Such figures were intended to
confer protection, regeneration, and divine favour upon the wearer.

The amulet measures approximately 26 mm in height. The surface shows natural wear, glaze
loss, and burial patina consistent with age. No modern restoration is observed. The amulet is
mounted on a modern faux leather string for display and wearability; the string is modern and
easily removable, while the amulet itself is ancient.
