Description from the seller
Composition of three miniature faience amulets in pale green representing the deities Horus, Isis, and Nephthys.
"Horus": He stands upright, in a walking posture, with arms along his body. He is leaning against a dorsal pillar with a suspension hole. He wears a long tripartite wig and is dressed in a short pleated loincloth. He is crowned with a pschent (crown of unified Egypt).
"Isis": She stands upright, in a walking posture, with her arms along her body. She is leaning against a dorsal pillar equipped with a suspension hole. She wears a tripartite wig, with strands indicated by incised lines, and an uraeus adorns her forehead. She is dressed in a sheath dress that stops at the ankles and is crowned with the hieroglyphic sign st (throne), which has a very low backrest.
"Nephthys": She stands upright, in a walking posture, with her arms along her sides. She is leaning against a dorsal pillar equipped with a suspension hole. She wears a tripartite wig with strands indicated by incised lines, and an uraeus adorns her forehead. She is dressed in a sheath dress reaching her ankles and is crowned with the hieroglyphic sign composed of a basket placed on the enclosure of a temple, used to write her name (mistress of the castle).
