Object Description
An ancient Egyptian faience amulet depicting a female deity. The goddess is depicted seated upon a throne with her arms bent at the elbows and a sun-disc crown atop her head. The long wig is black, contrasting with the turquoise-blue of the rest of the amulet. Although the details of the amulet are now worn, this is likely a representation of Isis nursing Horus, although the child form is completely indistinguishable now. A loop has been added to the back of the crown for suspension.
