An ancient Egyptian double-sided green faience amulet of the dwarf-god Ptaikos, portrayed squatting with his legs bent out to the sides and hands clasped on his protruding stomach. His head is disproportionally large, emphasising the exaggerated facial features. A suspension loop for attachment protrudes to the rear of the neck. The ancient Egyptians wore amulets alongside other pieces of jewellery. Amulets were decorative, but also served a practical purpose, being considered to bestow power and protection upon the wearer. Many amulets have been found inside the wrappings of mummies, as they were used to prepare the deceased for the afterlife.
