Item Details
Description
Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A mold-formed faience amulet of Khnum, the ram-headed god of fertility, craftsmanship, and creation. Khnum's roles as a creator, fertility deity, and protector of the Nile's inundation made him a vital figure in ancient Egyptian cosmology. His ram-headed form and creative attributes underscore his role in shaping life and ensuring the continuation of the natural cycles that sustained Egyptian civilization. Size: 0.6" L x 0.3" W x 1.3" H (1.5 cm x 0.8 cm x 3.3 cm); 2.125" H (5.4 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: Collection of Dr. W. Benson Harer, Los Angeles, California, USA; ex-Philip Mitry collection, noted antiquarian in Egypt, prior to 1951
