Five Egyptian faience amulets Late Period, circa 664-332 B.C. Comprising a green faience amulet of a recumbent ram, 4cm long; a pale turquoise amulet of a uraeus, 4cm high; a pale turquoise amulet of the crown of Lower Egypt, 3.2cm high; a fragmentary turquoise head of a serpent, 3cm long; and a pale turquoise recumbent rabbit, 2.5cm long (5) Footnotes: Provenance: Resandro collection, Europe, primarily formed late 1960s-1997 (R-577, R-581 (HA 82), R-586 (HA 75), R-600 (HA 182), R-583 (HA 102)). Published: I. Grimm-Stadelmann (ed.), Aesthetic Glimpses, Masterpieces of Ancient Egyptian Art, The Resandro Collection, Munich, 2012. The amulets of a uraeus, a serpent, and the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, are united in being associated with imbuing the wearer with power, both Royal and divine, in addition to the usual amuletic protections. The upreared cobra, the uraeus, was of course the emblem of royalty and signified kingship and divinity; the vulture represented Nekhbet, the patron goddess of Upper Egypt; and the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, 'when placed on the mummy of a commoner, would imbue him with the same aura of power and authority as pharaoh or god in the Other World' (C. Andrew, Amulets of Ancient Egypt, London, 1994, p. 75).
