This object qualifies for free USA shipping and a flat rate fee of $75 if shipping internationally.
A bright blue faience amulet in the form of a trussed duck, shown bound and ready for offering. The amulet is rendered in a stylized manner, with incised details faintly preserved along the wings and tail. In Egyptian symbolism, trussed ducks and other food offerings were associated with provisions for the afterlife, ensuring sustenance for the deceased. Amulets of this type were placed among funerary goods as both symbolic nourishment and as votive objects invoking abundance.
