| This approximately 20mm long steatite cowroid (97.124HD), a scarab-like form in the general shape of a cowry shell but without the detail of the beetle on its upper part, is decorated on its base with the stylized image of a vulture, considered by the ancient Egyptians as being an excellent mother, and with its wide wingspan, seen as all-encompassing and providing a protective cover to its infants. In overall very good condition without glaze and attributed to the 11th-14th Dynasty, c.2160-1790BC, this relatively large protective amulet comes with a small display card and a certificate guaranteeing authenticity.
