This is the rating and price for Museum-Exhibited Egyptian Silver Amulet Of Hathor, 1997

Description : Egypt, Late Period (XXVI Dynasty) to Ptolomeic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A beautiful, cast silver amulet of Hathor - the goddess of music, love, dance, and motherhood, and one of the oldest Egyptian deities dating back to the Old Kingdom period (ca. 2686 to 2181 BCE) - shown in a customary striding pose with her left leg advanced and donning her traditional headdress comprised of cow horns and a solar disc over her tripartite wig. The piece has developed a wonderful age patina, and nice details remain.
