Description: obverse: an ithyphallic and possibly mummified Anubis to the right confronting a figure seated upon a rock. The figure seems also to be bandaged like a mummy and, from the arms bent across the chest- the characteristic gesture of the god who holds the flail and sceptre- and a misconstrued atef crown, this seated mummy can be identified as Osiris. Between the two- Osiris and Anubis- are a star and an obelisk which bears the vertical inscription. reverse: blank. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | engraved gems Magical amulet Unknown | Temporal: | name=second or third century A.D.; start=100; end=300 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
