Ancient Coptic Egyptian Bull Zoomorphic Amulet

Item Details

Description

This graceful bull amulet, a relic of Coptic Egypt, hails from the period between the 3rd and 7th centuries AD. Measuring 1.5x1 cm, this miniature sculpture is carved from a gemstone, which has been preserved with great care over the centuries. The Coptic period was characterized by a unique blend of Egyptian and Christian traditions, and zoomorphic amulets such as this were believed to offer protection and guidance to their bearers. The bull is a symbol of strength and fertility, common in the iconography of the time. The craftsmanship displayed in this amulet speaks to the remarkable skills of Coptic artisans, who often infused their work with religious significance. This piece represents not only a form of ancient art but also the spiritual beliefs and practices that were integral to daily life in Coptic Egypt. Its fine condition makes it a rare and valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of early Christian artifacts.
