- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom, 18th to 20th Dynasty, ca. 1550 to 1070 BCE. An incredibly rare, hand-built glass amulet depicting a figurine standing with arms to their sides. The wear to the facial features has rendered the identity of this figure a mystery (as evidenced by the publication below), however centuries of environmental exposure have created layers of rainbow-hued iridescence to form. Size: 0.26" L x 0.26" W x 1.16" H (0.7 cm x 0.7 cm x 2.9 cm)
New Kingdom, 18th to 20th dynasty From "Temple, Tomb, and Dwelling": "Glass was first produced in Egypt during Dynasty XVIII (ca. 1558-1303 B.C.), when craftsmen, patronized by the royal household, created a variety of objects including vessels, inlays, jewelry, and small figural pieces. Following the New Kingdom, however, glass production seems to have fallen off, and does not appear to have been revived until the Late Period. The figurine, perhaps a miniature figure of a deity, is difficult to identify with any degree of certainty." (Dr. Gerry D. Scott III. "Temple, Tomb and Dwelling: Egyptian Antiquities from the Harer Family Trust Collection." University of California Press, 1992, pp. 30-31)
