About the Item

This rare Ancient Egyptian Faience Uraeus Cobra Snake Serpent Amulet, crafted between 600-300 BC, is a miniature masterpiece. The cobra is created from fine green Faience. In archaeology, faience is used to describe a non-clay based ceramic, often with a blue-green glaze. The pendant bale is hand hammered 14 Karat Gold. The exquisite Uraeus Cobra Snake Amulet is a testament to ancient Egyptian artistry. The pendant features an amulet of Uraeus the Cobra in Faience of extraordinary design. The intricate details and fine quality of the over 2000 year old amulet showcase the skill of ancient Egyptian artistry. It is so special to find jewels from the Egyptian period and this serpent example is in extraordinary condition with superb design and a wonderful depiction of the snake serpent cobra. URAEUS COBRA The uraeus is a stylized, upright Egyptian cobra and is a powerful symbol of royalty, divine authority, and protection in ancient Egypt. It was commonly depicted on the crowns of pharaohs and deities, particularly as a representation of the goddess Wadjet. The uraeus symbolized the pharaoh's power, protection, and divine legitimacy in ruling Lower Egypt. As you explore the intricate details, consider the cultural context in which this amulet thrived—where symbolism and spirituality were interwoven into daily life. With provenance from the Secret Eyes Gallery in New York during the 1970s-1980s, this amulet offers a tangible connection to both the ancient past and a more recent era of art appreciation. Acquiring this piece means owning a tangible link to the rich tapestry of Egyptian history and the vibrant art scene of 20th-century New York. The amulet pendant is 1 inch (26mm) tall and is 1 1/4 inches (30mm) wide and 8mm deep at the base. The 14 Karat Gold bale is a later addition. The listing is only for the pendant. The chain is only shown for display. The pendant weighs 4.6 grams. Provenance: Ex Secret Eyes Gallery New York 1970's-1980's
