AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
羽を広げたハエの形をした古代エジプトの銀の護符。ハエの胴体は三角形で、両側には丸みのある翼がある。昆虫の解剖学的な細部が丁寧に描かれており、突き出た二つの眼と胴体・翅に線状の切り込みが施されている。裏面は平坦で飾りがない。吊り下げ用に上部にリブ状のループが取り付けられている。表面には土っぽい付着物とくすみが見られる。使用痕として年齢にふさわしい摩耗の痕跡があり、軽微な擦り傷や変色がある。
このようなハエの護符の目的は確定していない。学者の間でもこの象徴の解釈にはさまざまな仮説がある。ある者は戦争における敵の執拗さを連想させ、戦場にしばしば留まって血が流されたことも理由となり、戦功として授与されたと考える。一方で、戦闘に従事しない女性や執事の墓所からも護符のサンプルが出土しており、この説には完全には同意しない者もいる。もう一つの可能性として、護符が身に着ける者にハエの有名な繁殖力を授ける目的があったという見方もある。しかしこの象徴の意味が不確かであるのは確かだが、ハエは多くの古代近隣文化にも現れる。
寸法：およそ 幅1.2 cm x 長さ2.2 cm
重量：1.66 g
来歴：英国コレクション出自 1920年代–1940年代。
