Ancient Egyptian artifact, a deity figure that likely represents the lion-headed goddess Wadjet, crafted during the Ptolemaic Period, spanning from 305 to 30 BC. This sculpture stands at 6.5 cm tall and is 1.5 cm wide (approximately 2.56x0.59 inches). Made from faience, a material with spiritual connotations of light and rebirth, the figure showcases the traditional Egyptian artistic conventions with its stylized form and poised stature. Wadjet was one of the oldest Egyptian deities, her form and symbol as the lioness representing the fierce and protective qualities. She was often associated with royalty and the protection of the pharaoh. This piece, with its detailed craftsmanship, serves not only as a representation of Egyptian religious practices but also as a symbol of the guardian deities that were central to the pharaoh's power. The figure’s condition and the quality of the faience are exceptional, making it a rare and desirable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of ancient Egyptian history and mythology.
