This is a very large and impressive amulet worn by a priest in the Late Period of Egyptian history, circa 600 BCE. The piece measures 7.5 cm tall and 5 cm wide. Intact and choice, with some wear to the surface, an indication that this piece was actually worn by someone for a considerable amount of time prior to burial. The leopard symbolizes priesthood in ancient Egyptian iconography. The priest who wore this would have most likely also worn a leopard's skin as a sash, indicating his administrative role.
A beautiful piece. Provenance provided to purchaser.

This is a beautiful shabti. Dating to the Saite Period in Egyptian history, circa 672 - 525 BC, otherwise known as the 26th Dynasty. Such an expressive face. His large nose and bulging eyes typical for this period. He sports a very stylish, braided beard, a characteristic typical of shabtis in the Late Period. His implements are intact - a pick in one hand, a hoe in the other and a seed sack slung over his left shoulder for sowing the fields for his owner in the afterlife. He's profusely inscribed. His name is Ankh-Hor. He measures 112 mm (4.44") tall. He has suffered a single break to his waist, but that was repaired some time ago, and there is a small abrasion to the glaze on the lappet wig behind his right ear. Otherwise. the piece is in choice condition. A wonderful piece. Provenance is provided to purchaser.
