Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A stunning cast-bronze inlay of a royal uraeus cobra wearing a broad solar disc atop its tapered head. The creature's broad hood is decorated with 3 pairs of enamel inlays, each pair in either light blue, red, or yellow hues. Presented atop an integral platform the serpent rears back, its tail curled up along its backside before draping down and tapering to the terminal. Lustrous layers of green and brown patina have developed over the centuries and attests to the age of the artifact. Uraeus cobra inlays like this example were typically set into recessed cavities atop the wooden sarcophagus lids of mummies as apotropaic charms in the afterlife.
