Description
This lion amulet, carved from diorite, measures 1.18 inches by 0.79 inches (3x2 cm) and dates back to the Old Kingdom era of ancient Egypt.

The choice of diorite, a durable and valuable material, underscores the significance of this object in ancient Egyptian culture, likely serving as a potent amulet for its owner. It is a remarkable piece for those interested in the material culture of ancient Egypt and the religious symbolism that permeated everyday life.
