Large Egyptian faience amulet of Nephthys
A large polychrome faience amulet of the striding goddess, Nepthys. On her head, she wears the characteristic headdress of a house atop a basket, and she wears a long sheer dress. An integral suspension loop is placed at the top of her head to the rear.
The colouration of the faience varies from the turquoise on her headdress, to black on her wig, to a varied honey-green for her dress and face. With a small custom mount.
Late Dynastic Period: Circa 664-332 BC.
Nice strong form and glazed surfaces.
Height 8.5 cms (3.3 ins).
Complete and intact
Provenance: Ex Private Midwest Private Collection Parsons Collection, acquired in 1890. Thomaston Place Auctions, Maine, 8 November 2008, Lot 424.
Late ancient Egyptian temple texts describe Nephthys as a goddess who represented divine assistance and protective guardianship. Here, as usual, she is crowned by the hieroglyphs signifying her name, which were a combination of signs for the sacred temple enclosure (ḥwt) along with the sign for nb or mistress (lady) on top of the enclosure sign. She is one of the four protectresses of the dead, the sister of Isis and Osiris, and the wife of Seth, and is found on every mummy, usually on the upper torso and in the company of Isis.
