Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Amulet Of Shu, 2019

Beschreibung : Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A finely detailed, mold-formed faience amulet of Shu covered in pale green glaze. Shu's standardized pose is defined by kneeling atop an integral rectangular plinth with his right knee down and left knee raised, wearing a pleated shendyt skirt, and an upright posture leaned against an integral dorsal pillar. His head bears almond-shaped eyes, cupped ears, a plaited false beard, and a broad nose, all beneath a pleated tripartite wig. Shu - the primordial deity personifying the air - holds his arms in a raised position that flank a sun disc, and this pose is highly symbolic of Shu lifting the skies and the heavens themselves. Shu is known as the father of Nut (goddess of the sky) and Geb (god of the earth) with his sister and wife Tefnut (goddess of moisture) and is associated with calmness, peace, and order.
