Descrizione : Mainly quartzite, also carnelian and steatite Egypt, Late to Ptolemaic Period Convolute of 19 amulets with apotropaic elements, gods' figures, scarabs and sphinx Length: min. 0.8 to max. 2.1 cm Provenance: Private Collection Bruno Wertz Scientific research: Dr. Jan Moje, Free University of Berlin (see references below) A recently assembled collection of 19 little amulets of different material is stored in a casket. The convolute contains such elements that were used to disperse of evil spirits. Among them are two djed pillars (eternity), the Udjat eye (Eye of Horus), a papyrus sceptre and a heart. Aside from these amulets are a few gods' figures, for example a Horus hawk, Thoeris (hippopotamus as goddess of the pregnant and of fertility), two Bes (god of birth and dance), as well as one small, cat-headed Aegis, (the goddess linked to Hathor). Furthermore, there are seven small scarabs in the casket, three of which are depicting a cartouche of the pharaoh Thutmose III. One scarab shows an Ichneumon (Egyptian mongoose) with feather and sun disk, which is a cryptographic writing for 'Jmn', the god Amun. In addition, a small amulet in the form of a sphinx, lying on a podium with an eyelet on the back, is part of the convolute - a further symbol of the potent king as protector of the land Egypt. The amulets of this convolute date from the Late to the Ptolemaic Period of ancient Egypt (664-30 BCE). The objects of the collection are in complete condition with usual traces of age and wear like superficial abrasion of the material. The dimensions are min. 0.8 to max. 2.1 cm in length.
