Ancient Coptic Egyptian Alabaster Fish Amulet, 4th-7th Century AD

Item Details

Description

This exquisitely crafted amulet from Coptic Egypt, dating from the 4th to 7th Century AD, represents a fish, an early Christian symbol of faith and abundance. Measuring 23x17x4 mm (approximately 0.91x0.67x0.16 inches), this alabaster piece reflects the spiritual artistry of the time. Fish amulets such as this were believed to offer protection and were commonly used in the daily lives of ancient Egyptians. The use of alabaster, with its translucent qualities and fine grain, was popular for carving intricate objects that have withstood the test of time. Its presence in burial sites and temples alike speaks to the amulet's significance in both life and death.
