Amulet of Qebehsenuef, one of the four sons of Horus, depicted here with his characteristic falcon head. This refined amulet, made of gold, measures 5.3 cm in height, 1 cm in width and 0.1 cm in depth, and is a sublime example of funerary art from the Third Intermediate Period (1076-723 BC) in Ancient Egypt. Its delicacy and symbolism reflect the technical sophistication and spiritual depth of this civilisation.

The amulet is made of gold, a material associated with eternity and divinity in Egyptian thought, due to its everlasting shine and resistance to decay. Its stylised form features an anthropomorphic figure with a falcon head, the symbol of Qebehsenuef, who was considered the protector of the intestines of the deceased during the mummification process. This elongated, minimalist figure stands out for its sober elegance, in which the carefully sculpted head contrasts with the simplicity of the body.

The representation of the sons of Horus was a fundamental element in funerary rituals, as their function was to protect the organs of the deceased placed in canopic jars. Qebehsenuef, associated with the cardinal point west, was under the protection of the Goddess Serket, who also played a role in protecting the deceased.

The amulet is in an excellent state of preservation, fully preserving its original shape and details. The surface of the gold, with slight wear attributable to its age, retains its characteristic luster, which further enhances its visual appeal and historical value.

The Third Intermediate Period is characterised by political and territorial fragmentation, but also by a boom in artistic production, especially in funerary objects intended for the nobility and upper classes. Amulets, such as this one, were an integral part of grave goods and were carefully placed between the bandages of mummies to ensure spiritual protection and regeneration in the afterlife.

Gold, considered the “flesh of the gods,” had a deeply spiritual symbolism. It was the quintessential material for objects associated with divinity, and its use in this piece suggests that it belonged to a person of high social standing. The figure of Qebehsenuef, in this context, not only protected the organs, but also symbolized the deceased’s connection to cosmic forces and the promise of eternal life.

This amulet is an extraordinary example of how Egyptian art fused spiritual function with refined aesthetics. Beyond its ornamental value, it is an object loaded with meaning, designed to fulfil a crucial function in the complex funerary rituals of Ancient Egypt. Its elegant form, precious material and exceptional state of preservation make this piece a tangible testimony to the religious beliefs and artistic skill of a civilisation that saw art as a tool to transcend death and ensure eternity. Weight: 0.99 grams.
