Original Commentary

Leonine Amulet

A small faience amulet depicting a leonine deity. She stands on a rectangular plinth with a back pillar behind her. The figure has the body of a human and the head of a lioness. She is depicted standing and wearing a long dress, with her left arm holding a papyrus sceptre and her right an ankh. A coiled cobra (uraeus) is atop her head, which is perforated for suspension. There is slight damage to the front of the plinth. Leonine deities, such as Sekhmet and Tefnut, were important figures in ancient Egyptian religion. They were associated with power, protection, and healing. It dates to the First Millennium BC.
