Weight: 4 g
Mounted on: Modern chrome-plated, gold-toned chain
This beautiful ancient Egyptian faience amulet depicts Taweret, the protective goddess of childbirth and fertility. The amulet displays a fine light blue-green glaze with traces of age-related wear and encrustation consistent with its antiquity.
