EDITORS COMMENTS
This Duck Head Amulet hails from the Late Period-Roman Period of Ancient Egypt, approximately dating from the 4th century BC to the 3rd century CE. The exact creator of this intricately crafted piece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The amulet, made of bronze, features a stylized representation of a duck's head, with its beak slightly open and its eyes delicately inlaid with color. The waterfowl's head is set against a plain background, emphasizing the animal's striking features. The Duck Head Amulet is a testament to the ancient Egyptians' deep connection with nature and their belief in the protective powers of animals. Ducks were considered sacred in ancient Egypt, particularly in the region of Mizraim, where the Nile Delta meets the Mediterranean Sea. The Egyptians believed that ducks represented the god Hapi, who was believed to bring fertility and prosperity. This amulet may have been worn as a talisman to ensure the wearer's well-being and protection. The Duck Head Amulet is now part of the impressive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Its presence in this prestigious museum allows modern audiences to appreciate the intricacies of ancient Egyptian art and the enduring allure of their rich cultural heritage.
