A New-Kingdom faience pendant.

£ 850

Amulet: faience. H. 24 mm
New-Kingdom, Dynasty 19th-20th 
Mounting: gold (18k), yellow spinel
Total weight 1,70 gr
 

With a negroid amulet, the reverse engraved with the goddess Sekhmet, a papyrus scepter, the 'p' hieroglyph, a hes vase and the sign nb (Lord).
Mounted in a nice and simple gold pendant set with a yellow spinel. 

In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet acted as the Eye of Re, the daughter and protector of the sun god, Re. She had the ability to make enemies fall sick or heal those who were afflicted, so she would have provided the wearer of this amulet with protection from disease and other dangerous forces.

Old private collection of a Lady, prior 1980s
