The CBd
Bonner, SMA on CBd-1382
Seyrig 14
Obv. Figure bandaged like the mummy of Osiris, its head, apparently that of a jackal or a dog, turned to r.; hands together in front, each holding a crozierlike scepter. On the head is a small disk, over that a crown or an ornament consisting of a long horizontal bar with recurved ends and another small disk in the middle. Instead of feet there are two snakes, rather shorter than the snake legs of the common anguipede type. In the field at l., λι (or λε), χκ, ζ; at r., ρψ (the ρ cut over λ), ης. An isolated type, the style of which resembles that of an amulet in the Wyndham Cook Collection, 246, Pl. 9; there, however, the subject is different.
Rev. Female figure standing to l., dressed in tunic girt at waist and reaching below the knees. The l. hand holds a tall scepter of peculiar form; the top is like a lance head with two short horizontal bars over the point; two tassels hang from the middle, and there is a loop at bottom (unless this was intended for the letter omicron). The right hand holds out an uncertain object like a hanging purse with a smaller object of like shape attached to its bottom by a double cord. In field at r., λρ, η, χ (very small).
Green jasper. Upright oval, 23 Χ 17 Χ 5. Edges slightly chipped.
