- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A beautiful, mold-formed faience amulet featuring a trio of highly symbolic deities facing towards the right. The openwork rectangular pendant has a thick border and an incised suspension bale on top, all covered with lustrous layers of blue-green glaze. The first deity on the left is Hathor, the cow-headed goddess of the sky, music, and motherhood, who stands with a rigid posture, holds a slender staff, and wears a sun disc crown flanked with a pair of horns. The central deity is the lioness-headed Sekhmet, goddess of war and strategy, who wears a solar disc crown atop her leonine head. Last is Nefertum, god of unguents and sweet smells, who is shown in a striding pose while wearing his signature water lily crown. An intriguing example showing some of ancient Egypt's most important gods and goddesses! Size: 1.375" W x 1.2" H (3.5 cm x 3 cm); 1.7" H (4.3 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Salisbury, Maryland, USA collection; ex-Gunner Puhze collection, 2010; ex-private German collection, acquired prior to 1982
