Egyptian, Hyksos Period, Carved Steatite Seal Amulet, 1786 - 1567 B.C.
|Egyptian| |Antiquities|, |Egyptian,| |Hyksos| |Period,| |Carved| |Steatite| |Seal| |Amulet,| |1786| |-| |1567| |B.C.|, An attractive piece in the archetypal style of the Hyksos period.

In Egypt, few seals were actually used to make impressions and seal documents. Although they are almost always holed for stringing, an absence of wear on them shows that they were not usually carried during life, but were engraved to place as amulets with the dead.
AS31142. Hyksos amulet; Petrie Amulets -, Choice, 3 cm (1 1/8") by 2 cm (3/4"), holed for stringing; a few small edge chips; SOLD
