Heart amulet with human head. Dimensions: H. 5.4 cm (2 1/8 in); w. 2.7 (1 1/16 in); d. 1,5 cm (9/16 in). Dynasty: Dynasty 18 or 21-22. Date: ca. 1550-710 B.C..This unusual looking amulet is a combination of a simplified heart and a human head.

At the top is a small, carnelian human head, which was manufactured separately and attached to the heart. Details of the face, such as the nose, eyes, and mouth are carved, but mainly due to the amulet's small size and the hardness of the material, they are not well defined. A long, striated, black wig made out of chlorite conceals the junction between the two parts. The amulet is pierced twice latitudinally. The top piercing runs through the head, and a second is positioned in the lower third of the

Similar patterns of concentric circles are found throughout early Byzantine art. These circles may have represented the reflective qualities of mirrors, which in the ancient and early Byzantine world were believed to deflect evil.Crosses were everywhere in the early Byzantine world. They marked religious, secular, and domestic buildings, public works, clothes and jewelry, and objects in the home. The cross was a sign of Christ's triumph over death and the hope of eternal life and was frequently ascribed apotropaic, or protective, powers by the faithful.. Pendant Cross 446233

Uraeus plaque from a string of amulets. Dimensions: H. 1.1 × W. 0.6 cm (1.1 × 0.6 cm). Dynasty: Dynasty 21. Date: ca. 1070-945 B.C..Nine amulets of various materials were found threaded together in a tight group around the throat of the Lady Djedmutesankh; two of these, of green glass, disintegrated after they were discovered. This plaque is roughly incised with the figure of a rearing cobra, or uraeus, the totem of several important goddesses. One of the most dangerous snakes in Egypt, the cobra became a symbol of protection, thought to spit fire at enemies of the king. Djedmutesankh also had a gold amulet on her forehead (see 25.3.167).For the amulet group, see 25.3.169-related. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
