Goddess with gilded sundisk and wings

Unknown

664–30 B.C. · Wood, gilding · Egyptian Art

The small, finely detailed amulets 10.130.2439-.2445 are all made of wood. Wooden amulets are often gilded, but the only remaining gilding is on this goddess's sun disk. The identity of the goddess is uncertain. A number of goddesses might be winged, but the most common are not generally identified with a sun disk.
