It functioned as a mould for creating amulets in the form of the goddess Isis, in standing position, with sun disk and typical crown of horns. In her hand she is holding a papyrus sceptre. The goddess Isis was the wife of the god of the dead, Osiris. After his death, she was named goddess of the dead, however, she managed to resurrect her husband. Isis is also called 'Goddess of the North'. Such moulds of fired clay were used for the production of amulets of quartzite, so-called faience. The little mould for an amulet in the shape of the goddess Isis is very well-preserved and complete condition, with usual traces of age. The form is slightly shoved on the exterior, but this does not harm the mould in functionality. Traces of sand are visible. The dimensions of the mould are 2.8 x 2.3 x 1.1 cm (width x height x depth).
