Lot 912
A Fine Large Udjat Amulet in Faience. Egypt, c. Third Intermediate Period or Late Period, c. 950-450 BC. The udjat of typical form, but an open work version. Molded in a green to bluish-green faience, it is thick, and the front rather convex. Identical details deeply and neatly incised on both sides, but the front eye recessed around the pupil, to receive inlays of white faience. Also pupil and brow with black glaze. Intact and choice, but much of the glaze brownish from the mummy's resins. Width: 1-11/16". Rare type. This one of the best udjats we have handled in many years.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
