This is the rating and price for Egyptian Glazed Faience Crocodile Pendant

Description : Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A mold-formed faience pendant in the form of a crocodile laying recumbent atop an integral rectangular plinth. The crocodile presents its lengthy reptilian body with dozens of crosshatched scales, a massive tail with a curved tip, and all four legs curled tightly against its muscular body. The tapered head rests atop an integral loop and bears a pair of protruding eyes and a lengthy snout. Remains of pistachio-green glaze are visible across the red-brown ground. This pendant is perhaps representative of Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of fertility who is said to have created the waters of the Nile River.
