This print showcases the "Amulet of Two Fingers" from Egypt's Late Period, specifically Dynasty 26-30 (664-332 BCE). Crafted by an unknown artist, this ancient Egyptian artifact is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of that era. The amulet itself is carved meticulously out of haematite, also known as hematite, giving it a striking black color.
