M11674b.jpg M11674c.jpg

Two small faience figures, one of Amun and the other of Khnum. The figures have been made into a pair of ear-rings at a later period than that of manufacture. At the back the figures have been pierced for suspension through which loops of gold wire have been passed and then fastened to rings of worked gold. The base of each figure is set in gold, a fine wire and granulated decoration.
