Byzantine Egypt Banded Agate Zoomorphic Amulets (330-640 AD)

Item Details

Description

A striking ensemble of nine zoomorphic figures meticulously carved from banded agate, these amulets measure between 0.43 to 1.18 inches (11-30mm) and hail from the Byzantine period in Egypt. This collection includes one bull, five lions, one turtle, and one pillar, each symbolizing different attributes like strength, protection, and longevity. The varied forms and the use of banded agate, a material prized for its decorative appearance and presumed protective qualities, reflect the syncretic cultural and religious practices of Byzantine Egypt. These amulets provide a fascinating insight into the spiritual life of the era and would be an exceptional addition to any collection of ancient artifacts.
