Description from the seller
Amulet / Pateco from the low period around 350 BC.
Late Period Egyptian amulets in faience were symbolic charms crafted from a glazed ceramic material. These amulets, popular during the Late Period (664–332 BCE), served various protective and religious purposes. Faience, a non-clay ceramic, allowed for vibrant colors, often turquoise or blue, and intricate detailing. Common amulets included those shaped like gods (such as Bes or Isis), animals (like the scarab beetle), or symbols with specific meanings. Worn as jewelry or placed among mummy wrappings, these amulets were believed to bring luck, protection, and assistance in the afterlife.
