Egyptian Faience Amulet Third Intermediate Period
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Amulet Necklace Counter Weight from the Third Intermediate Period of ancient Egypt. Crafted during Dynasty 21-25, which spanned from 1070 to 656 BC, this amulet is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Egyptian civilization. Made with faience, a type of glazed ceramic material highly valued in ancient Egypt, this delicate piece measures approximately 6 x 2.25 x . 5 cm (2 3/8 x 7/8 x 3/16 in. ). Its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship are truly awe-inspiring. The amulet's purpose as a necklace counter weight adds an intriguing dimension to its significance. In ancient Egyptian culture, jewelry held great symbolic importance and was believed to possess protective qualities. This particular amulet would have been worn as part of a necklace ensemble, serving not only as an adornment but also as a symbol of spiritual protection. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact through the lens of time, we are transported back to an era where artistry flourished amidst grand dynasties. The vibrant blue hues characteristic of faience evoke images of the Nile River flowing through lush landscapes while reflecting the celestial skies above. This print captures not just an object frozen in time but also tells a story about human ingenuity and reverence for beauty that transcends centuries. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, we can still be inspired by the wonders created by those who came before
