古埃及人的复制品 Faience 大游历风格的埃及法伊恩瓷梅纳特护符——仿古复刻品 - 7 cm (沒有保留價)
This Egyptian faience amulet depicting pergaps goddess Hathor is a late 19th–early 20th century replica, inspired by ancient Egyptian religious models and likely produced for the Grand Tour or the European antiquities and curiosity market.
The object represents a woman shown in profile, with a human female face; The facial features are stylized yet clearly defined, following traditional Egyptian conventions rather than portraiture.
The head rests on a short, narrow neck terminating in a rounded, flared base, suggesting its intended use as a votive or protective amulet rather than a free-standing sculpture. The reverse is flat and undecorated, consistent with objects designed to be worn, mounted, or displayed against a surface.
The surface retains a green to turquoise faience glaze, with visible wear, glaze thinning, small losses, and areas of discoloration, all consistent with manufacture in the late 19th or early 20th century. The overall craftsmanship reflects an intention to evoke ancient Egyptian religious imagery rather than replicate a specific excavated artifact.
Dimensions: approx. 7 × 6 cm
