Ancient Egyptian Blue-Glazed Faience Amulet of Khnum as a Ram (C. 664-332 BCE)

This is an ancient Egyptian blue-glazed faience amulet in form of a ram representing the god Khnum.

The deity is depicted in a recumbent position on an integral, rectangular plinth. His head is modelled naturalistically with fine details to the eyes, nose and mouth. The horns are twisted downwards and frame the ears. The ram bears the tail of a lion and maintains a pose similar to the Sphynx. There is a ribbed loop on the ram’s back for use as a pendant.

The amulet is in fine condition with some loss of glaze and slight wear consistent with age. 

DIMENSIONS: 1" H x 1.25" L x .5" W
