Amulet

AMULET

This amulet, which was purchased in the art trade in 1948, is composed of two figurines on a socle: a bird divinity with a human head and a naked infant holding the right hand towards the mouth. It's probably the goddess Isis who protects her child Horus. The goddess is wearing a wig on which a metal (?) element was fixed which is now missing. On the back, there is a ring for attaching the piece to a necklace.
