Bracelet with Agathodaimon, Isis-Tyche, Aphrodite, and Terenouthis

Bracelet with Agathodaimon, Isis-Tyche, Aphrodite, and Terenouthis. Dimensions: 1 9/16 x 2 3/16 in. (4 x 5.5 cm). Date: 1st century B.C.-A.D. 1st century.
Powerful talismans of fertility and good destiny are woven into this rich golden composition. The bodies of two snakes intertwine to form a Herakles knot, the centerpiece of this bracelet. The snake on the left represents Agathodaimon, and the cobra on the right Terenouthis, two agrarian/fertility deities associated with Serapis and Isis, respectively. On the platform between them stand two goddesses, Isis-Tyche (or Isis-Fortuna), a deity closely associated with Alexandria, and the nude Aphrodite.
