This impressive steatite cobra amulet from the Egyptian Revival era, standing at approximately 12 cm in height and 11 cm in width, is a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient Egyptian motifs and craftsmanship. The revival period, which peaked in the 19th century, saw a renewed interest in Egyptian aesthetics, often stimulated by archaeological discoveries of the time. The statuette, exquisitely rendered in steatite with a glazed finish, showcases the cobra in a protective stance, symbolizing royalty and divine authority. It's a fine example of the period's craftsmanship, echoing the intricate work of the ancients with its carefully incised details and rich turquoise glaze. This piece, evocative of the allure of the Nile Valley civilizations, would be a distinguished addition to any collection, inviting contemplation on the timeless allure of ancient Egyptian art. Collectors will appreciate the dual value of this lot, both as an artistic revival piece and as a homage to the ancient world.
