Nº 89674021
Own a piece of the Pharaonic past with this rare blue chalcedony amulet, representing the goddess Nephthys from Ancient Egypt, circa 7th to 4th Century BCE. This fine artifact, with its serene blue hues and historical significance, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a distinguished European provenance.
This ancient Egyptian amulet is a representation of Nephthys, a goddess associated with death, rebirth, and the transition to the afterlife. Crafted from blue chalcedony, a material valued in ancient Egypt for its mystical properties, the amulet stands at 52mm in height and weighs 9.060 grams. Its good condition, despite the passage of over two millennia, reflects both the artistry and the durability of the materials chosen by its creators.
Nephthys was revered as a protective deity, often invoked during funerary rites and depicted in mortuary texts. The use of blue chalcedony would have been particularly meaningful, as the color blue was associated with the Nile, the heavens, and the primeval waters of creation in Egyptian cosmology. Such amulets were not mere ornaments; they served a vital role in ensuring the well-being of the bearer in this life and beyond.
This amulet's rarity is unquestionable, with few examples surviving in such remarkable condition. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from J. Bagot Ancient Art, guaranteeing its historical value.
Provenance is paramount when collecting antiquities, and this piece boasts an illustrious history. It was once part of the private collection of the esteemed François Antonovich in Paris, France. The amulet's recent sale at a judicial auction in 2022, along with its accompanying EU export license, ensures that it has been handled in accordance with the highest standards of cultural property laws.
Visual Analysis:
The amulet's form, carved from blue chalcedony, is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of the Late Period in Egypt. The portrayal of Nephthys is characterized by hieroglyphic elements, indicating her divine status. Its condition, with some wear yet retaining clear features, suggests it may have been worn or used in ritual practices. The choice of blue chalcedony, a stone associated with the Nile and the sky, underscores the amulet's protective function, aiming to harness the goddess's power. This combination of material and iconography is emblematic of Egyptian religious art, making it a coveted item for those fascinated by ancient civilizations.
