AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very rare and powerful Egyptian faience amulet, bluish-green in color, depicting the dwarf god Pataikos standing ( on two crocodiles missing today ), the god with a scarab on his head and a Horus-falcon on each shoulder, holding a serpent in each hand ( now missing ), flanked by a standing figure of Isis to his right, and sister Nephthys to his left, the back with a winged goddess Nut wearing a sun-disk, pierced behind his head for suspension.
The Pataikos cippus amulet, like the closely related examples featuring Horus-the-Child, was designed to give magical protection against noxious creatures, such as crocodiles and serpents.
INCLUDES CERTIFICATE FROM GALERIE CAHN ( SWITZERLAND )
Condition: Base with crocodiles missing, modern suplemented. Some surface wear. Restored and repainted over fracture line on the lower area ( see pictures ). Otherwise good condition.
DImensions: 5,50 cm.
Similar example: Brooklyn Museum. Accesion number 37.949E
Provenance: Swiss Auction house. Swiss private collection Bonsera. Purchased in 2021 from Jean-David Cahn. Before that in the private collection of Carl Leonhard Burckhardt ( 1902-1965)
