Group of 7 amulets
Third Intermediate Period
This group of objects was found on the throat of the Lady Djedmutesankh, threaded together in a tight bunch. There are now 7 amulets of various materials: 2 plaques, one incised with the image of a man and the other with a rearing cobra; 2 wedjat eyes; 1 wadj (papyrus) scepter; 1 heart; and 1 "Isis knot" (girdle tie). Two additional amulets, a heart and a papyrus stalk, both of green glass, disintegrated after they were discovered. See 25.3.169a–i for the individual amulets.
For other objects found in the burial of Djedmutesankh, see 25.3.1-.3; 154a-d;.17-.18; .24; .27; and .167-.170.
