- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A group of four mold-formed faience amulets that are glazed in pale green or blue-green hues. First is a depiction of the lioness-headed goddess Sekhmet seated upon an integral throne with a suspension loop behind her head. Second is a seated cat amulet with perky ears and a coiled tail, perhaps representative of the cat goddess Bastet. Third is an amulet bust of the sacred bull Apis, son of Hathor, shown with a stern bovine countenance. Fourth is a petite scarab bearing two ankhs and the heart-and-windpipe hieroglyph for Nefer, meaning "goodness," in the center of the bottom. A beautiful collection from ancient Egypt! Size of largest (Sekhmet): 0.75" W x 1.5" H (1.9 cm x 3.8 cm); (display case): 4.8" H (12.2 cm).
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection, acquired in April 2019; ex-Artemis Gallery; ex-private New York, New York, USA collection, acquired in 2017; ex-private East Sussex, UK collection
