Descrizione : Saite Period, 26th Dynasty, 664-525 BC. A large jasper amulet of the Ba, or soul, in the form of a hawk with human head, wearing a tripartite wig and false beard, engraved details to the feathers, suspension ring to the back. 20 grams, 35mm (1 1/2). From a late 1990s private collection, formerly acquired on the UK art market in the early 1980s. In ancient Egypt an individual was believed to be composed of a number of spiritual components that today we would refer to as the soul. These included the Ka, or person's double, the Akh, or transfigured energy, and the Ba which was the part of the soul that could travel between the worlds of the living and the dead. The Ba required food and drink to survive in the afterworld, and so it would fly to the tomb chapel to partake of offerings left for the deceased by relatives.
