Peter Reynaers

An Egyptian amulet shaped as a daisy, modelled in dark blue faience with a turquoise faience suspension loop (repaired at the loop).

The daisy’s pattern, with petals in a circle around a central button, is attested since the Old Reign, becoming evermore widely found during the New Reign. It is thought that the ancient Egyptians had gardens and loved to plant flowers. They used daisies to soothe the skin and to aid digestion, as the chamomile extract from the plant placates irritation and puffiness. Perhaps this amulet was accordingly used by someone seeking relief from irritation.

Measurmenets: 1.5cm length

Provenance: From a UK collection, 1920's-1940's. 

New Kingdom, circa 1500 - 1070 BC
