A Pre-Dynastic Egyptian Jasper Elephant Amulet, c. 4000-3000 B.C.

Item Details

Description

Carved with an artisan's precision, this jasper elephant amulet is a testament to the spiritual and material sophistication of Pre-Dynastic Egypt. Its compact form captures the elephant's majestic presence, an animal that symbolized great strength and longevity in ancient lore. The choice of jasper, known for its metaphysical properties of grounding and protection, further imbues this object with a sense of timelessness and enduring significance. With a polish that has withstood the sands of time, this amulet may have once served as a personal talisman or a votive offering, linking the bearer to the divine protection and wisdom of the elephant spirit. This piece serves not only as an artistic expression but also as an enduring link to the ancient Egyptian way of life, where animals were revered as both earthly companions and celestial guides.

Length: 1.9 cm
Width: 1.1 cm

Provenance:
Found near the archaeological site of Naqada, late 19th century.
In the estate of an enigmatic collector from Cairo, early 20th century.
