Ancient Coptic Egypt Banded Agate Frog Amulet, 3rd-7th Century AD

Item Details

Description

A charming Coptic Egyptian banded agate frog amulet from the 3rd to the 7th Century AD. The amulet's size is modest, measuring 12 mm in length, 8 mm in width, and 5 mm in height, or approximately 0.47 inches by 0.31 inches by 0.20 inches. Frogs were symbols of fertility and rebirth in ancient Egypt, and their image was often used in amulets throughout Egyptian history, including the Coptic era. The use of banded agate, known for its layering and natural patterns, suggests that this amulet was also intended as a decorative piece, perhaps worn as jewelry or kept as a talisman. The craftsmanship is notable for its precise detailing, successfully capturing the form and spirit of the frog in such a small scale. This piece is a beautiful example of the continuation of pharaonic traditions in Coptic art, imbued with religious significance and an appreciation for the natural world. It would be a fine addition to any collection of ancient Egyptian or early Christian artifacts.
