Amulette en forme de pilier djed ; Pilier djed surmonté de la couronne atef
Description
faïence siliceuse ; « Les amulettes égyptiennes représentent des divinités, objets ou symboles qui apportent une protection magique aussi bien aux vivants qu'aux morts. Pendant le rituel funéraire, les embaumeurs en insèrent un grand nombre entre les bandelettes de la momie. Plus elles sont nombreuses, plus elles sont puissantes. Le choix du matériau et l'emplacement sur le corps en déterminent aussi l'efficacité. » (F. Rubiella, 2020) ; " Pilier djed surmonté de la couronne osirienne atef. Cette couronne est composée d'un faisceau de roseaux liés, surmonté d'un disque solaire et encadré par deux plumes d'autruche. Le tout repose sur deux cornes de bélier". (Affholder-Gérard et Cornic, 1990)
