Description: | Cippus amulet of Horus-the-child with the sidelock of youth, standing naked on two crocodiles, holding snakes in both hands and with other harmful creatures by his sides. Above his head is the head of the dwarf-god Bes and he is flanked by two gods (one of which is probably Re-Harakhty). The amulet bears spells for protection against bites and stings from creatures such as the crocodiles, scorpions and snakes depicted; on the front of the amulet are two rows of hieroglyphs facing to the right below the scene, two columns around the sides and top, five rows on the underside and 18 rows on the reverse. | Subjects: | votive god jewellery amulet amulet inscription animal | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Harpocrates, Horus-The-Child Bes, Dwarf-God Re-Harakhty, Sun-God | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=49... | Go to resource |
