Egyptian Faience Papyrus Sceptre Pendant
Egyptian Faience Papyrus Sceptre Pendant
Item Details
Description
Late Period, 664-332 B.C. Amulet in the form of a wadj papyrus sceptre with suspension loop; with light encrustations; supplied with a wooden display stand. Cf. Petrie, W.M.F., Amulets. Illustrated by the Egyptian Collection in University College, London, 1914, pl. II, no. 20c, for similar. 7.15 grams, 64 mm (34.4 grams total, 94 mm including stand) (2 1/2 in. (3 3/4 in.)).

Ex Foxwell collection. Acquired from a London gallery. Ex Mr A.S. collection, 1990s. Property of a Bristol, UK, gentleman.

The papyrus column or wadj amulet is typically made out of turquoise feldspar or faience, as is prescribed in the Book of the Dead. The word wadj, meaning “green”, evokes concepts of well-being and vitality. Papyrus amulets were often placed around the neck of the deceased to ensure eternal youth in the afterlife. They were particularly popular during the Late Period (664-332 B.C.).
