Lot 861
Two Exceptional Glazed Items. Late New Kingdom to Ptolemaic, c. 1290-150 BC. Earliest a Ramessid scarab in beautifully glazed steatite. The insect fine and naturalistic; the base showing the king holding hands with Horus and Amun-Ra. Later, a well detailed and glazed amulet of Nephthys, sister of Isis -- perhaps early Ptolemaic, although said to have been "Found at Tel el-Amarna…". Both intact and perfect. Lengths: 3/4"; 1.-1/8". Lot of 2 items.
Estimated Value $450 - 650.
Both from a U.S. collection formed in the 1950's and 60's, with characteristic typed description cards.
