BANDED AGATE AMULET IN A SEATED LION FORM, CIRCA 500 BC
This striking amulet, carved from banded agate, depicts a seated lion, an enduring symbol of strength, protection, and royalty in ancient cultures.
The amulet's surface is polished to a smooth finish, enhancing the rich, varied colors of the banded agate, ranging from deep blacks and browns to lighter, more translucent areas.
Such amulets were often worn for protection or incorporated into burial practices to safeguard the deceased in the afterlife.
Provenance: Private collection.
W: 4.2cm
