| Description | CBS Register: engraved stone, oblong, for seal ring, green jasper, Greek inscription on back. Egyptian - Greek PBS XIV: The young Horus arising from the lotus flower between Isis and Anubis is borne along on the boat of the sun with a falcon perching on both prow and stern. The young god carries the whip as a symbol of his ruling power and lifts a finger to his lips. There is a disk over his head and his hair is tied with a diadem. Isis and Anubis are both standing carrying the scepter with the crooked head. The falcons have their head adorned with the long curved feather of Mat. The boat is formed of reeds bound together as used in the Delta marshes of Buto. A beautiful scene of purely Egyptian inspiration. The reverse has a very puzzling inscription, perhaps or Carian or Aramiac characters (?). “i a e u//e g sh n//z m” Flat ring stone with tapering edges. Green jasper, 18 x 13 mm, face; 15 x 10 mm reverse. |
