This is a spectacular item. Made of tura limestone, this profusely inscribed ancient Egyptian limestone fragment is part of an offering table dedicated with Wennefer, as seen on the bottom left (Hare)= U, water = n, esophagus and stomach glyph = Nefer, all making Unnefer, or Wennefer, which was an Epithet of Osiris meaning "Eternally Incorruptible" - referring to his ressurection from the dead. Rameses I reigned at the start of the 19th Dynasty, circa 1292-1290 BC. This short reign of Rameses I makes this piece EXCEEDINGLY rare. The cartouche of Rameses I can be seen in the bottom-right corner. This piece is a fragment of a much larger piece, and measures 90.74 mm long, 84 mm tall and 17 mm thick. For reference, please see last two attached photos, which have been scanned from Jurgen von Beckerath's Handbuch der Agyptischen Konigsnamen, pages 148, 149. # T 4. This piece is delicately incised, and was carved by a master. Price on request. Provenance provided to purchaser.

This is a fantastic piece. This limestone frieze fragment was carved during the reign of Egypt's most notorious king - Akhenaten, or Amenhotep IV, circa 1353 - 1336 BC. The cartouche retains it's original blue and red pigments, as seen. The colours are vibrant! The cartouche reading 3h-n-Itn, which, literally says Akhen-Aten. Reference for this cartouche can be found on pg 142-143 of Jurgen von Beckerath's Handbuch der Agyptischen Konigsnamen, #10, E4. The piece measures 4" tall, 3.75" wide and 1.25" thick. A fantastically rare and collectible piece. Provenance provided to purchaser.

This Wedjat measures 17 mm in length.
Condition: Pristine. It's mounted to a modern, large gold pendant for safety and wearability.
The Wedjat is also known as the eye of Horus. Considered a potent and powerful symbol in ancient Egyptian culture and religion. It represents the eye of Horus, the Falcon who represented the Sun, and it served as a talisman for protection. Other benefits of it's power were thought to be strength and prosperity. Used primarily in funerary placement as well as in bodily decoration. The symbol was also used by the ancient Egyptians in mathematics to represent fractions. Provenance of this fine piece provided to purchaser.

This is a fantastic opportunity to own an AUTHENTIC, sizable, Ancient Egyptian Alabaster vessel. The piece dates to the New Kingdom, circa 1250 BC. A fantastic piece in wonderful condition. There are some ancient chips to the surface, but they don't detract from the overall presentation and buttery texture of this beautiful, banded alabaster vessel. Additionally, there is evidence of some organic material remaining inside. Not sure what it is, but I would guess it's residual of khol or another makeup or even some type of unguent or oil. Measures: 73 mm tall. Provenance provided to purchaser.

This is a sweet little amulet depicting a scaraboid. A scaraboid is an amulet which has the shape and intent of a scarab, but without the details. Sometimes carved with a glyph on the back, such as an ankh, this one is plain and unarticulated. It's made from green jasper, a semi-hard gemstone used for amulets and beads throughout the history of ancient Egypt. This piece dates to the New Kingdom in Egyptian history, circa 1539 - 1292 BC. Measures: 13 mm X 11 mm and is pierced lengthwise for suspension on a necklace or placed in the wrappings of a mummy originally. Green jasper was a common stone used in Egyptian votive amulets, as green was considered a colour which represented Regeneration in the Egyptian spectrum of religious ideologies. Condition: This amulet intact, save a few tiny chips to the corners, as seen in the macro photos. Provenance provided to purchaser.
