Amulet of a goddess, possibly Nephthys
Third Intermediate Period–Ptolemaic Period
This tiny amulet depicts a standing goddess with her arms extended on her sides. The details of the figure are only roughly shaped, including her headdress that cannot be identified but vaguely resembles that of the goddess Nephthys. The piece has a pierced back pillar, as is common for such three-dimensional deity amulets. The amulet was meant to invoke the protection and specific powers of the goddess.
