Amulet plaque with a relief of two deities: a lion-headed goddess in a long robe, with a sun disc and a uraeus on her head Sekhmet, and a naked lion-headed god with a uraeus on his head possibly Mahes whose limbs appear paw-like. Ptolemaic Period, 332–30 BC, Egypt. Material: amulet plaque. Height 6.7 cm; width 2.7 cm., A single, roughly rectangular object with an irregular outline fills the image, showing a textured surface in bright blue with areas of darker blue speckling and small dark spots; there are a few small patches of brownish discoloration and tiny pits across the surface, and a narrow lighter edge along parts of the perimeter.
