From the New Kingdom, the introduction of the mould created a ‘mass-market’ production of amulets and pendants. Moulds such as this would have been used to create a large quantity of amulets in an efficient manner. A large number of moulds were found at the site of Amarna, implying that this was a centre for production. Petal amulets were used extensively in the creation of broad collar necklaces, in a variety of faience colours.
