EGYPTIAN FAIENCE CYLINDER SEAL WITH CARTOUCHES
Item Details
Description
New Kingdom, Ca. 1550 - 1070 BC. A cylinder seal pierced lengthwise, with a double cartouche carved into its surface with a name or saying, similar the cartouche of Pepi II. The seal may have been used to mark an object by rolling it over a moist lump of mud that had been placed over the closure. However, many ancient Egyptian seals also had amuletic properties, and the piece here might never have been used for its practical purpose. Size: 12mm x 5mm; Weight: 1g Provenance: Prince collection, 1990s-2014, acquired from Sand of Time Gallery, Jul 2006, Lot 74.
