Item Details
Description
This exquisite gem amulet, shaped like a fly, hails from the era of Coptic art in Egypt, specifically dated to the 4th-6th Century AD. Measuring 20.5x11.5x3.5mm, the amulet is a small but significant artifact that combines the ancient Egyptian cultural reverence for animal motifs with emerging Christian symbolism. The fly, often seen as a protector against disease or evil, is rendered in a warm, translucent gem material, showcasing the high level of craftsmanship and the spiritual connotations of the period. This amulet not only represents the aesthetic values of the time but also serves as a tangible connection to the syncretism that characterized early Coptic Christianity in Egypt.
