ANCIENT EGYPTIAN BIRD AGATE AMULET, NEW KINGDOM PERIOD, 1550 - 1070 B.C.

This finely crafted Ancient Egyptian bird-shaped amulet is made from reddish-orange agate, dating back to the New Kingdom period (1550-1070 B.C.). This amulet reflects the deep spiritual and cultural significance of animal symbolism in ancient Egyptian belief systems. Amulets like this were thought to provide protection and good fortune to the wearer, particularly through the revered imagery of birds, often linked to deities or the afterlife.
