Amulet showing Anubis standing over mummy on bier

Starting in the later Late Period and continuing through the Ptolemaic Period, a type of glass amulet cast by pressing the glass into a shallow open mold appears. The back was left rough, and the amulets may look ragged because glass overflowed the mold around the edges. The earlier amulets are monochrome, bi- or multicolor amulets supplement the repertoire during the Ptolemaic Period.

Some of the amulets can be specifically tied to spells of the Book of the Dead like this one: the vignette associated with Book of the Dead spell 151 shows Anubis placing his hands on the mummy. And most are clearly funerary amulets, presumably meant to be wrapped between the bandages of the mummy where the presence of the amulet would do its job irrespective of its degree of finish.
