Object Description

A fine Ancient Egyptian amulet carved from pale blue faience in the form of the djed pillar. The pillar features a long rectangular stem, curved on the obverse, which flares to a flat, square base. The top of the pillar features four horizontal parallel ridges, topped by a small protrusion, beneath which are three shallow horizontal incisions. The reverse is flat and unworked. The amulet is perforated horizontally behind the ridge motif for suspension. Very minor wear and earthy encrustations feature to the surface, otherwise the amulet is very well preserved.
