Item Details
Description
A profound representation of the syncretism of ancient beliefs, this coptic Sekhmet amulet is carved from diorite and measures approximately 0.98x0.79x0.39 inches (2.5x2x1 cm). The piece, which dates back to the Byzantine period in Egypt, showcases the continuity of Egyptian deities' reverence well into the Christian era. Sekhmet, the lioness goddess, was a symbol of power and protection, and this amulet was likely worn as a talisman. The craftsmanship and material choice reflect a deep respect for the ancient traditions carried through the ages. This relic offers a unique glimpse into the spiritual life of Coptic Egyptians.
