Amulets of Ancient Egypt Amulets are ornaments believed to endow the wearer by magical means with the properties they represent. They were first made in Egypt as early as 4000 BC egyptian arts and crafts and were essential adornments for both the living egyptian arts and crafts and the dead. Crafted from gold egyptian arts and crafts and silver, semiprecious stones, egyptian arts and crafts and less valuable materials, they are fine examples of Egyptian art as well as a source of evidence for religious beliefs. In this book, Carol Andrews offers the first comprehensive account of the types of amulets made, their symbolism, egyptian arts and crafts and their protective powers. An amuletic foot could be worn to ensure fleetness of foot, a hand for dexterity. The desert-dwelling hare symbolized keenness of the senses, egyptian arts and crafts and the hedgehog, which hibernated egyptian arts and crafts and survived outside the fertile valley, held connotations of rebirth egyptian arts and crafts and triumph over death itself. The ubiquitous amulet in the shape of the dung beetle, known as a scarab, was symbolic of new life. Amulets in the image of powerful gods would be worn for protection, egyptian arts and crafts and malevolent creatures, like the male hippopotamus, would be worn to ward off the evil they represented. Both a reference book egyptian arts and crafts and an informative account of Egyptian magical belief, this is the most complete survey of the subject to date. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
