Amulet of the Djed-Pillar from the Tomb of Yuya and Thuya Em-0-011


A Djed pillar amulet, from the tomb of Yuya and Thuya, made of gilded wood to imitate a real gold amulet. It is inscribed on both sides with magical texts for the protection of the deceased.

The Djed pillar symbolized resurrection, stability and endurance and became the emblem of Osiris. When the deceased has this emblem or amulet in his tomb, then he will stay complete in the afterlife and will be resurrected and live forever. Spell 151e of the Book of the Dead, about the Djed pillar amulet, refers to its function as follows: "I am the magical protection of Osiris."
