This is the rating and price for Egyptian Late Dynastic Wood Uraeus, Ex-Newark Museum

Description : Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A carved wood uraeus, a representation of the sacred cobra snake worn on the headdresses of Egyptian deities and sovereigns. Some black pigments remain on the head of the hooded serpent. The cobra is symbolic of royalty, and always worn on the headdress of the pharaoh, the queen, and other members of the royal family. Uraei come from the symbolism of the goddess Wadjet, who was the patroness of the Nile Delta and was often depicted as a cobra, her place on a crown encircling the head emphasized her protection over a pharaoh who sought to rule her land. This example is uniquely mounted on a former museum paperboard plaque with a descriptive label and hand-painted headdresses that show the different ways the uraeus was worn!
