Label TextThis faience amulet depicts the white crown of Upper Egypt, known as the Hedjet. The white crown symbolized royal authority over the southern region of ancient Egypt. Amulets like this were often worn for protection, embodying both the king’s power and divine favor. During the Late Period (Dynasties 25–31), these amulets were commonly used in burial practices to protect the deceased and align them with royal authority in the afterlife.
