Ancient Egyptian carnelian menat amulet

New Kingdom period: Circa 1550 – 1070 BC
Very Fine condition complete and intact.
Height 25 mms (1 inch)
Provenance: From a private collection acquired by the previous owner’s father in the 1950's
The menat is a term for the counterweight of a menat necklace, a heavy set of beads with counterweight sacred to great female goddesses in particular who were appeased by the sound of the shaken beads.
