Ancient Egyptian silver fly amuletic pendant.
A small Ancient Egyptian silver amulet of a fly, with detailing to body and wings, with traces of bitumen deposits. Suspension loop at one end, flat on the reverse.
New Kingdom-Ptolemaic period: Circa 1250-30 BC.
Very Fine condition.
Length 2.5 cms (1 inch)
Provenance: From an early 20th century collection.
Context: Small fly amulets first appeared in burials during the Naqada II Period, c. 3200 B.C. These amulets grew in popularity and the materials used to make them expanded during the New Kingdom. They are crafted from a variety of materials such as gold, silver, lapis lazuli, carnelian, amethyst, faience, and bone. These amulets were thought to protect against insect bites and to ward off troublesome flying creatures through apotropaic magic. Some believe they may have even been intended to symbolise the fly’s fecundity. Additionally, pharaohs would bestow gold fly-shaped pendants as military awards to honour the bravery and fly-like persistence of soldiers in battle.
