Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A mold-formed faience amulet depicting Duamutef, the jackal-headed Son of Horus. Covered in deep, lustrous, azure-hued glaze, Duamutef is shown facing to the right in typical 2-dimensional rendering with straight legs, protruding feet, and a lengthy wig covering his perky ears and narrow snout. Perforations through his head and feet show how this amulet was bound to the linings of a linen-wrapped mummy. Duamutef was charged with protecting the stomach of the deceased and was himself protected by the goddess Neith. Size: 0.5" W x 2.3" H (1.3 cm x 5.8 cm)
