Item Details
Description
We offer a significant piece of Coptic Egyptian history with this ancient Djed pillar amulet. The artifact dates from the 3rd to the 6th century AD, a time when Egypt was transitioning from Pharaonic traditions to Coptic Christian practices. This amulet is carved from steatite and measures 33x12x5 cm, or approximately 13x4.72x1.97 inches. The Djed pillar is a symbol deeply rooted in Egyptian mythology, often associated with stability and the god Osiris. Its appearance in Coptic times reflects the syncretism of ancient Egyptian beliefs with emerging Christian thought. The craftsmanship evident in this piece and its state of preservation makes it a valuable acquisition for any collector of ancient artifacts, offering a unique glimpse into the religious evolution of early Christian Egypt.
