The first examples of amulets appeared in Ancient Egypt as early as 4000 B.C. Believed to possess magical powers that protected the wearer or bestowed upon the properties they symbolized, amulets were worn both by the living as well as the dead. Throughout their evolution, talismans were crafted from a variety of materials including precious metals such as gold and silver, semiprecious stone like jasper and carnelian, as well as other more affordable glazed compositions such as faience. The particular powers of an individual amulet were based upon its specific shape, although the material and even the color of the charm could affect its magical abilities. While many of the amulets created to be worn by the living could also be worn after death, there also existed a specific group of charms that were made specifically to be placed upon the mummified remains of the deceased. All together, amulets represent an important class of Ancient Egyptian art that furthers our understanding of their complex religious beliefs. - (CK.0240) « Less

In a land like Egypt filled with serpents, the Ichneumon-- the sacred mongoose of the Nile-- enjoyed a special status. Swift and clever, he alone was able to outwit the anger of the cobra. A statue like this might have been offered to the mongoose god in return for his protection from snakebite. Though we are perhaps in less danger from such things today, it could hardly hurt to have this charming creature on our side. - (FZ.033) « Less

The waters of the ancient Nile were full of fish, certain species of which came to be worshipped as gods because it was believed they could suppress evil. In the town of Oxyrhynchus in Upper Egypt, the curve-nose Mormyrus fish was the centre of a large cult that eventually spread widely through the land. According to mythology, the sacred fish figured prominently in the resurrection of the god Osiris and this was one of the reasons for its deification. In this splendid sculpture, the god is shown crowned by the cow horns of Hathor, the sun disc of Ra and the cobra Uraeus. He rests regally atop a sled that may have been used for display at festivals. We sense intuitively his divine status, and that his kingdom is the cosmic rather than the earthly river. - (FZ.277) « Less
