Description : Egypt, Alexandria, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE.

All three figures stand nude atop an integral plinth and hold hands as a symbol of cohesiveness. An integral suspension tube atop the dorsal wall enabled this piece to be worn as a pendant on a necklace or bracelet at one time.
