Amuletic Papyrus
Third Intermediate Period
This long and narrow strip of papyrus is inscribed with an oracular text intended to keep its owner safe and well. In seventy lines of text, the gods Isis and Horus promise to protect Ankheseniset, wife of Djedkhonsu, from every illness and misfortune and to ward off any dangerous entity that might try to harm her. After being rolled and tied with a thread, such papyri would be probably placed within a protective container and worn around the neck with a cord.
