Item Details
Description
Coptic Egyptian alabaster amulet, hailing from the rich cultural period between the 4th and 7th centuries AD. This amulet measures 24x22x5mm, making it a modest yet significant piece. Alabaster was a favored material in ancient Egypt for its smooth finish and ability to be intricately carved. This particular amulet bears the simplicity and elegance that is characteristic of Coptic art, which often incorporated symbolic designs into everyday objects. This piece would have been used as a personal talisman, believed to offer protection or blessings to the owner. Today, it stands as a testament to the continuity of Egyptian tradition through the Coptic era, embodying a mix of ancient Egyptian and Christian motifs. It is an ideal acquisition for collectors interested in early Christian artifacts, Egyptian antiquities, or the history of personal devotional items.
