"Egyptian Amulet Silver I Century"
Rare amulet of Horus Harpocrates, the god Horus child. He is represented here in a light hipster, wearing the pschent (rugged), a cornucopia on his left arm and his right forefinger on his mouth. The feet are missing and the fragmentary dorsal attachment. Egypt, Alexandria, 1st century AD silver with beautiful oxidized patina, 3.2 cm high. For the presentation, I had fun putting it in a very small ivory box, itself held under its magnifying glass by a tool that the electronics call "the third hand".
Old certificate of authenticity from an expert at the Court of Appeal.
