    Late Dynastic Vulture Amulet

    715-332 B.C

    Pale greenish blue faience vulture, thought to have been placed upon the deceased's neck-for the deceased this amulet would have had an apotropaic function-vultures were very dangerous to any corpse, therefore undoubtedly became to be associated with the goddess Nekhbet, patroness of Upper Egypt.
