Item Details
Description
Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A mold-formed faience amulet depicting a cobra with its head and hood held high. A pierced suspension loop is integral to the tallest loop behind the head, and the entire composition is unglazed and thereby exhibiting its natural color and texture. Cobra effigies like this example typically represented royalty or royal power as is common with royal uraeus cobra symbolism. Size: 0.62" L x 0.27" W x 0.93" H (1.6 cm x 0.7 cm x 2.4 cm)

Cf. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 74.51.4507.

Provenance: Collection of Dr. W. Benson Harer, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired before 2004
