{"product_id":"ea2075","title":"An Egyptian Faience Amulet of a Hare, Late Period, Dynasty 26, ca. 664 - 525 BCE","description":"Most popular in the Late Period, hare amulets were made exclusively of green-glazed composition with a suspension loop on the spine supporting the long erect ears. The hare was a desert dweller and thereby credited with powers of regeneration, but its swiftness of movement and the keenness of its senses were also well known; it was even believed to sleep with its eyes open. Its fecundity, of course, was proverbial. Thus a hare amulet could be worn in life to endow its wearer with fertility or rapidity of movement, or in death with the hope of rebirth. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecf: Andrews, Carol 'Amulets of Ancient Egypt', University of Texas Press (1994), 60(e) and pg 63-634.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intact and in excellent condition overall, a very fine example.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Length: 1 1\/2 inches (3.8 cm)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Private English collection, acquired in the late 1800s and then by descent through the family to the present owner.","brand":"Mark Regan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40552124317740,"sku":"EA2075","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/3933\/4188\/products\/EA2075_2.jpg?v=1659507602","url":"https:\/\/qrack-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/ea2075","provider":"qrack shop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
