Measures: 13 mm in length and 11 mm tall.

The underside of this amulet is inscribed with dedication to the Goddess Ma'at, invoking universal balance and justice.

A fine piece in excellent condition.

A wonderfully-executed rendering.

This piece measures 25.3 mm (1") long, 17.7 mm (0.7") wide, and 10.7 mm (0.42") thick. A beautiful and substantial example.

It's ancient Egyptian, circa 25th Dynasty (Third Intermediate Period, 800-657 BC).

Standing in a permanent wood base, the piece projects a full 6" from the base. Including the base thickness, the presentation is 7.25" tall.

The depiction is quite unusual. This is a statue depicting a Divine Votaress of Amun. The Divine Votaress of Amun was considered to be a royal female with divine duties, and there are texts which indicate that the king went to great pains to ensure that his daughter would become the Divine Votaress of Amun. It was a highly-revered religious, social and political position in ancient Egypt. The Divine Votaress was considered the First of the Hierodoules of Amun, Head of His Harem, and, as such, she held the position of Legitimate Wife of the God. She is referred to as Wife of the God, and worshipper of the God, or Divine Votaress.

When I first saw this piece, I thought it was possibly Middle Kingdom, due to the unusual proportions. While there is some Alabaster sculpture in the Middle Kingdom, small deities aren't common, so this must be late Third Intermediate Period, as the title of Divine Votaress of Amun did not exist until the New Kingdom, circa the reign of Hatshepsut, who appears to have created the job, thereby cinching her position as next in line to the throne, which seems to have worked quite nicely.

There is a similar piece, albeit much larger, in the Cairo Museum, and she displays the same full figure as this piece.

This piece is meticulously inscribed on the underside with: "Kheper - Ra - Uah - Hor - Uzat - Tesher u".

Measures: 17.11 mm long X 12.1 mm wide X 6.86 mm in thickness.

Condition: There is one chip to the glaze on the obverse, as seen, but the rest is pristine.

In addition to the obvious quality of this piece, it is accompanied by a fantastic provenance...

This piece is direct from the world-renowned collection of the late Philip Mitry.

Philip Mitry was a well-known and reputable, antiquities dealer who owned a shop in Cairo which was, at the time, licensed by the Egyptian government. In the early 1950's Mitry sold the shop, which was called the Anglo-American Bookstore and Antiquities Shop. He then moved to the United States, where he began to disperse the collection.

As such, much of what has since been dispersed from this famous collection has ended up in major museums the world over, and this collection had amongst it some of the finest scarabs and seals to be found anywhere.

Measures: 11.77 mm long X 8.63 mm wide X 5.23 in thickness.

Condition: some fine surface polishing due to this piece having been worn as an amulet during daily life of an ancient Egyptian of the 18th Dynasty, but, besides that, it's pristine. A rare and enviable specimen.
