Rare Egyptian Faience Amulet Snake / Cobra, ex-Mitry

Item Details

Description

Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A mold-formed, turquoise-glazed faience amulet depicting a snake, perhaps a cobra, making a trio of high arches with its back as it slithers across the integral plinth. Snakes held symbolic significance in ancient Egypt, often representing both danger and protection. They were associated with deities like Nehebkau and Wadjet - protectors of the pharaoh - as well as Apep (also Apophis) - the serpent demon of chaos and darkness. Size: 1.39" L x 0.31" W x 0.92" H (3.5 cm x 0.8 cm x 2.3 cm)

Cf. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 74.51.4508

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

Condition

Repair to frontal corner of plinth, with small chips and light adhesive residue along break lines. Chipping to proper left side of snake and plinth, with abrasions and fading to glaze pigment, softening to some finer details on face and hood, and light earthen deposits, otherwise in great condition. Wonderful preservation to serpentine form. Previous handwritten information beneath plinth.
