Beetle-Shaped Pendant with Ram-Headed Sphinx Egy00610

This oval, beetle-shaped pendant is decorated with a picture of a ram-headed sphinx.

The ram is the sacred animal of the god Amun-Re. The sphinx represents the god himself. In front of the sphinx is the uraeus, the royal cobra.

Behind the sphinx is a pot containing leaves. The sphinx is sitting on a base decorated with bent stripes.

The holes on each side indicate this was used as a pendant or amulet.
