About the Item

This exquisite faience amulet is an Aegis featuring the head of Amun-Re. The god is seen here taking on the form of a ram, wearing a striated tripartite wig and sun disc fronted by an uraeus. The uraeus itself, in turn, wears horns and a disc, all surmounting an elaborate broad collar with two perforations near the base of the collar. The details of the face, wig, and broad collar are all sensitively rendered with spellbinding precision. Notes An aegis is a collar-like necklace (often called a broad-collar) bearing a divine head as symbol of protection and fertility. It is most commonly found on the prow of a sacred boat, or barque, of a god, but small ones could be used with a mummy. Lions or cats were generally the subjects for an aegis, but just as often we may find the head of a god like Isis or Amun, as seen here.
