Amulet; Amulets; Quartz
Obv.: Snake moving to l., head slightly raised, mouth open. Above, eight-pointed star. The symbol on the reverse side shows that this snake takes the place of the commoner lion-headed Chnoubis serpent. Rev.: Three reversed curves each with a dot opposite its middle point--an unusual form of the Chnoubis symbol. Cloudy white quartz colored brown underneath, probably by a cement used in mounting it. Horizontal oval, 13 x 11 x 5. Very convex on obv., slightly convex on rev (Studies in Magical Amulets, Bonner).
