Descrizione : Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A fine mold-formed faience amulet depicting Imsety (also Imset, Imseti, Amset, Amsety, Mesti, and Mesta), the human-headed Son of Horus. The amulet shows Imsety facing left in profile while standing in mummiform, with an incised broad collar pectoral displayed just beneath the lateral flaps of the tripartite wig. A biconically-drilled suspension hole behind the wig allowed this amulet to be tied onto the wrappings of a mummy, and the composition is accentuated with vibrant black and cornflower-blue glaze. Depictions of the Four Sons of Horus are usually found on the lids of canopic jars which contain and protect the important internal organs during mummification, and those illustrating Imsety are meant to protect the liver.
