SOLD 

Faience frog amulet, yello with green stripes and red eyes.The heiroglyph Nefer, which generally means good or beautiful, on the base. Pierced longitudenally for stringing. All frog amulets of this size and color have been found in the Royal Apartments at Amarma. See Julia Swanson, Amarna, City of Ankhenaten and Nefertiti, the identical type illustrated on page 85. I have owned this amulet since I purchased it at a Los Angeles coin show in the late 1960s. Length 11mm. Time of Ankhenaten 1353-1335 BCE. It is easy when holding this amulet to imagine one of the Ladies of the Royal Harem wearing a necklace composed of these frogs. The frog was a symbol of creation, regeneration and fertility.

New Price $4700 

Limestone male head from the time of Amenhotep III. The period was a time of great wealth and luxury in Egypt and the art was some of the best of any era in the history of the kingdom. Amenhotep III was associated with the Aten during his lifetime which probably had something to do with the revolution in Egyptian religion started by his son Akhenaten. The fragmentary head cannot be identified as any particular person or god but it does have presence. The fine carving of this piece indicates that it is almost certainly from the Royal workshops. Circa 1386-1349 B.C. From a California collection. Ht. 7.2cm.
