Djed pillar amulet

Djed Pillar Amulet. Dimensions: h. 1.9 cm (3/4 in). Date: 664-30 B.C.. The djed-pillar is a stylized representation of an early fetish that probably consisted of plant material. From the beginning of ancient Egyptian history, it was used as a symbol signifying permanence. Later it was associated with the god Osiris and identified as his backbone. The djed-pillar here was probably used as a funerary amulet to ensure permanence and to closely connect the deceased to Osiris, who was revived after death.
