A Serpentine Lion Amulet, New Kingdom, Egypt, 1550-1070 B.C.

Item Details

Description

Enveloped in the protective aura of the lion, this serpentine amulet from Egypt's New Kingdom embodies the strength and guardian spirit revered in ancient times. Carved with care, the lion's form is both stylized and evocative, a talisman meant to confer power and status upon its bearer. Such amulets were commonly placed among the wrappings of a mummy to safeguard the deceased's journey into the afterlife. The green hues of the serpentine stone are reminiscent of the lush Nile delta, symbolizing rejuvenation and eternal life, themes central to Egyptian cosmology.

Length: 2.2 cm (0.87 inches)
Width: 1.4 cm (0.55 inches)

Provenance:
Collected by H. Boulak, an Egyptian merchant, in the late 19th century.
Thence by descent; acquired by a private collector in Alexandria, 1945.

Keywords:
Egyptian Amulet, Lion Symbol, New Kingdom, Serpentine Stone, Ancient Talisman, Protective Amulet, Mummy's Journey, Afterlife, Guardian Spirit, Strength, Power, Status, Rejuvenation, Eternal Life, Egyptian Cosmology, Nile Delta, Green Stone, Archeological Artifact, Cultural Significance, Historical Relic.
