Amulets of Animals, Birds and Hieroglyphic Symbols, Ancient Egyptian Art

8 months ago
98

The Ancient Egyptians believed that amulets have divine or magical powers such as:
- the ability to protect against a specific type of danger,
- the ability to cure disease,
- or the ability to give preternatural strength to the wearer.
Amulets were made in the shape of gods, animals, plants, and Hieroglyphic symbols. They were made of gold, bronze, crystals, glass, stones, and other materials.
Amulets were often inscribed with a spell, magic incantation or symbol that protects the wearer against evil or provides aid and magical benefits.
A large variety of amulets were placed on the mummy body and scattered among the wrappings to ensure the safety of the body and any easy passage into the Afterlife. Several of the spells in the Book of the Dead were intended to be spoken over specific amulets, which were then placed in particular places on the body of the deceased.
Amulets were not only a representation and an incarnation of ancient Egyptian religion, but an apparent witness to the great Egyptian art as well.
