5 Egyptian Glazed Faience Amulets & Pendants

Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A fine gathering of 5 mold-formed faience pieces of varying forms. First is a miniature frog pendant covered in green glaze that perhaps represents Heqet (also Heket), an ancient goddess associated with child-birthing. Next is a plump, blue-glazed bird body amulet without a head, perhaps depicting a duck or a ba bird. Next are two striding goddess pendants whose identities are unknown, one glazed in blue and the other in green. The largest amulet depicts the dwarf deity Patek (also Ptah-Patek, Greek Pataikos), a protective deity known as a son or incarnation of Ptah-Sokar. Size of largest: 0.7" W x 1.6" H (1.8 cm x 4.1 cm)
