Amuletic aegis of Bastet or Sakhmet

Amuletic aegis of Bastet or Sakhmet. Dimensions: H. 2.5 cm (1 in.): W. 2 cm (13/16 in.). Date: ca. 1070-664 B.C.. This small piece represents a so called aegis, which is a protective element that combines a broad collar with the head of a deity. The broad collar was a common jewellery item that consisted of several rows of beads and was worn on the chest. Here the head of a feline goddess is featured; this is possibly Sakhmet. She wears a large sun disk and a uraeus cobra on her head. Underneath her lion ruff one can see part of a human tripartite wig, a common element for animal headed deities.
