5 Egyptian Faience Amulets - 1 Feline & 4 Wadjets

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. An impressive ensemble of 5 mold-formed faience amulets, 1 feline and 4 wadjets or Eyes of Horus, all enveloped in beautiful blue and green glazes. The first amulet depicts a recumbent feline in profile with its head turned to face the viewer and an annular drill hole through its neck for suspension. The remaining 4 pieces are all in the form of the wadjet with 2 adorned with black-painted details, 1 featuring high relief details, and the last flat on both sides. A suspension hole is perforated laterally through each bead for suspension. Size (of largest): 1.1" W x 0.7" H (2.8 cm x 1.8 cm)

Cats played an important role in ancient Egyptian culture, and today's housecats come from the domestication of wild cats that lived along the Nile. The aloofness and aura of mystery that cats held, captivated the imagination, and quickly transformed them into deity figures, represented by Bastet, the cat headed goddess of good health and daughter of the sun god Ra.

Symbolic of health, healing, and protection, the wadjet is an ancient ocular symbol of protection and one of the oldest symbols in Egyptian writing. In ancient Egyptian mythos, the falcon god Horus controlled the skies, the sun, and the moon. The sun (represented as the right eye of Horus) rose each day and gave life-giving energy to the crops and gods alike; when the sun set, the moon (represented as the left eye of Horus) rose over the land and provided a guiding path to the afterlife for the recently deceased.
