Cowroid Seal-Amulet
New Kingdom
This amulet imitates the shape of a cowrie shell and is thus called a cowroid. It was found near the pelvis of an unnamed woman who was buried in the tomb Hatnefer (see 36.3.1). The heraldic design on the base is intricately carved and includes a falcon standing on a rearing cobra. Behind the falcon is a scorpion.
