| Blue conical-shaped amulet with suspension loop on top. Late Period, 600-400 B.C. 1 inch tall. Intact with intact suspension loop. From an old New Jersey private collection. Also known as ‘Wadj’ or ‘Uadj’, an amulet of ancient Egypt, believed to impart strength, abundance and virility to the wearer.
