Description
This marble fist amulet from Egypt's Late Period to the Ptolemaic Period, dating from 664–30 B.C., measures 3.2 cm in height, 1.6 cm in width, and 1.2 cm in depth (approximately 1.26x0.63x0.47 inches). The fist amulet is a powerful symbol of strength and protection in ancient Egyptian culture, often associated with the god Horus and used as a talisman against evil. Carved from pristine white marble, the amulet showcases the Egyptians' skill in working with a variety of materials to create objects of religious and personal significance. The well-defined carving of the clenched fist, despite its miniature size, reflects the artistry and attention to symbolic detail that was prevalent during this era. It is a piece that not only embodies the aesthetic qualities of the time but also offers insights into the spiritual beliefs and practices of ancient Egypt.
