- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A rare example of a cippus amulet featuring the nude dwarf god Pataikos. The bandy-legged deity presents with a pair of daggers held against his chest, a large scarab beetle resting atop his head, the goddess Sekhmet standing to his left, and another striding figure - perhaps a pharaoh - to his right. The god of perfumes and sweet smells, Nefertem, is shown striding to the right behind Pataikos while a series of illegible hieroglyphs beneath the integral rectangular plinth perhaps described what the amulet's owner was being protected from. Cippus amulets are designed to be phylactic symbols against venomous and life-threatening creatures like cobras and crocodiles. Size: 0.58" L x 0.8" W x 1.6" H (1.5 cm x 2 cm x 4.1 cm)
A similar example hammered for $5000 at Christie's, New York "Ancient Jewelry" auction (sale 3498, December 11, 2014, lot 246).
Provenance: Collection of Dr. W. Benson Harer, Los Angeles, California, USA, purchased February 15, 1992; ex-Maspero collection, acquired in the 1970s
