Goddess with gilded sundisk and wings

Late Period–Ptolemaic Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 134

The small, finely detailed amulets 10.130.2439-.2445 are all made of wood. Wooden amulets are often gilded, but the only remaining gilding is on this goddess's sun disk.

The identity of the goddess is uncertain. A number of goddesses might be winged, but the most common are not generally identified with a sun disk.
