Description
This unique piece is a Byzantine Egyptian ancient coptic face amulet, crafted from brown stone and dating from 400 to 600 AD. It measures approximately 1.6 cm in height and 0.8 cm in width, which is around 0.63 inches by 0.31 inches. This amulet is bifacial, featuring two faces, which may indicate a symbolic representation of duality or protection. Such artifacts are rare and were likely personal belongings, serving as talismans for the owner. Its well-preserved condition and the detail in its craftsmanship offer a direct link to the spiritual and cultural practices of Byzantine Egypt. The intimate scale and the dual-faced design of this piece make it a fascinating and conversation-worthy addition to any collection of ancient art.
