Amulet: Crown of Upper Egypt
Late Period
Crown amulets, whether representing the Upper Egyptian or Lower Egyptian crown (compare 10.130.1822), supplied the wearer with royal power. They bestowed royal status on the deceased, who was identified with the god Osiris, the king of the afterworld. Crowns themselves also bore great magical power.
