A ANCIENT LAPIS LAZULI EGYPTIAN AMULET, CIRCA 26TH DYNASTY

A finely carved lapis lazuli amulet, dating to the 26th Dynasty of ancient Egypt (664–525 B.C.). Depicting a vulture, a symbol of protection and maternal care in Egyptian iconography, the piece is meticulously detailed, with intricately incised feathers and a commanding posture. The vibrant deep blue of the lapis lazuli, complemented by traces of natural wear, reflects the amulet’s spiritual significance.
