Item Details

Description

Late Period, 664-323 BC. A large pale green glazed composition amulet of Pataikos standing nude on a rectangular base. Cf. Andrews, C. Amulets of Ancient Egypt, London, 1994, item 36(a"). 20 grams, 52mm (2"). Ex Michael Nellist collection, Cornwall, UK; acquired on the UK art market 1970-2000. The Mike Nellist Collection. His interest in antiquity was piqued when, during the 1970s, he spent some time working in Israel and had the opportunity to visit Roman-period locations including Lake Galilee and Masada, the site of the famous Judaean revolt and subsequent massacre. He made his first purchases at that time and was soon building an enviable collection of artefacts. While at university, he was able to study human remains at first hand in conjunction with archaeological research and from there his passion for the human aspects of historical research was kindled. Now retired, Mike indulges one of his other passions â€“ wildlife and nature photography.
