Descrizione : **Originally Listed At $250** Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A soft green amulet in the form of a mummified ram in a recumbent pose on an integral rectangular plinth, finely mold-formed from faience. The animal lays with extended legs in front of a naturalistic ram head replete with almond eyes, relaxed ears, a rounded snout with nostrils, and a pair of large, curving horns resting on top. A petite, trifurcated suspension loop is situated just behind the head and allows the piece to be worn as a pendant. The ram is symbolic of Khnum, one of the oldest Egyptian deities, believed to be the source of the Nile River and the creator who molded human bodies and other deities from the rich silt along the river's banks. A beautiful ram amulet that was believed to bestow the wearer with virility.
