Description from the seller
Heart Amulet in Black Stone – Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom (1550–1300 B.C.)
Description:
Elegant heart-shaped amulet carved from black stone, dating to the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt (circa 1550–1300 B.C.).
This finely crafted piece measures 25 x 15 x 11 mm and features a small suspension loop, suggesting it was originally worn as a personal pendant.

A beautiful artifact that reflects both the spiritual symbolism and artistic refinement of the New Kingdom.
