- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A fine gathering of six mold-formed and glazed faience pendants, each depicting a different deity in Egyptian mythos. First is the nude dwarf god Patek (Greek Pataikos), son of Ptah. Second is a seated effigy of the dwarf god Bes, protector of women and children. Third is a striding figure of Anubis, the jackal-headed god of the dead and the process of embalming. Fourth is a striding representation of Ra Horakhty, a synthesis of Ra - the god of the sun and king of all deities - and Horakhty - the aspect of the sunrise of Horus. Fifth is a striding depiction of Khnum, the ram-headed god associated with water, fertility, and procreation. The largest is the ibis-headed Thoth, god of learning, writing, mathematics, and the moon. Size of largest (Thoth): 1.5" H (3.8 cm)
