AN EGYPTIAN AGATE AMULET, POSSIBLY DEPICTING A MUMMIFORM FIGURE, LATE PERIOD TO PTOLEMAIC PERIOD, 664-30 B.C.
This striking amulet, carved from a rich red-orange agate, is likely a representation of a mummiform figure, a common motif in ancient Egyptian art. The figure, with its detailed facial features and distinctive headdress, suggests a connection to the afterlife and the protection of the deceased. The back of the amulet features a loop, indicating it may have been worn as a pendant, serving both as a protective talisman and a statement of devotion.
Provenance: Private UK collection.
