Description
With an intriguing form that measures just 2 cm by 1.5 cm (0.79" by 0.59"), this steatite bird amulet from ancient Egypt is a miniature marvel. Its detailed carving, weathered by time, captures the essence of a bird - a creature often associated with the soul in Egyptian mythology. Despite its small stature, the amulet carries the weight of history, serving as a personal guardian to its erstwhile owner. It is a piece that evokes the mystique of a civilization renowned for its spiritual depth and artistic achievement.
