Notes
Some of the hieroglyphic signs have a cryptographic determination as an Amun's trigram: the feather represents "j" in exchange for the reed-leaf, the Maat-figure stands for "m," and the beetle for "n" (derived from "ntr.j", "the divine one"). The sphinx does not seem to be part of the trigram, and with its Red Crown of Lower Egypt and divine beard, represents divine kingship.
This amulet should provide the owner with the support of the divine king and Amun.For the latest information about this object, scarabs; amulets, visit art.thewalters.org. | Dynasty: 18th-19th Dynasty | Inscriptions: [Translation] Lord, Amun. | Reign: | Style: | more | less
