- Full Artifact Description
- Obv.: Ouroboros enclosing uterine symbol, at r. of which a seated god touches the knob of the key. His head is not human, but either that of a hawk or that of a ram. Above, four divinities; at r. and l., winged goddesses, with one wing raised, the other lowered, in the traditional attitude of Isis and Nephthys fanning Osiris. The figures may be meant for those two goddesses, but they are not clearly characterized. At center, Anubis mummy facing an unidentified goddess. Round the design, inside the ouroboros, and in the field, vowels in various combinations, also Iao at r, Sabaoth at bottom. Outside ouroboros, the Soroor formula, partly illegible through abrasion. Rev.: Ouroboros enclosing inscription in eight lines. Haematite. Upright oval, 20 x 18 x 3 (Studies in Magical Amulets, Bonner).
