A small but significant ancient Egyptian fly amulet, skillfully carved from a creamy stone. Symbolizing valor, such amulets were often bestowed upon soldiers for their bravery in battle. The New Kingdom era, spanning from approximately 1570 to 1070 BCE, saw an increase in the production of such amulets, reflecting the martial prowess of the time. This particular piece, with its modest dimensions, holds a powerful history, a testament to the ancient Egyptian belief in the protective and virtuous powers of symbols.
