Ancient Coptic Egypt Carnelian Duck Amulet, 3rd-7th Century AD

Item Details

Description

Finely crafted carnelian duck amulet from the Coptic period of Egypt, spanning the 3rd to the 7th Century AD. The dimensions of this exquisite piece stand at 13 cm in length, 7 cm in width, and 6 cm in height (approximately 5.12 inches by 2.76 inches by 2.36 inches). Carved from rich carnelian gems, this amulet showcases the Coptic tradition of incorporating symbolic representations of animals into their personal adornments. The duck, possibly symbolizing life and fertility, is rendered with an attention to form and detail that reflects the high level of artistry achieved during this era. This artifact would be a distinguished addition to any collection of ancient Egyptian or early Christian art.
