A faience model situla amulet. While Margaret Murray dated this to the Twenty-sixth Dynasty, stylistically it is more likely from the Third Intermediate Period. It is probably from Abydos. Situlae were ceremonial vessels used to offer libations of life-giving water. They are shaped like a lotus flower and are commonly decorated with mythical and religious scenes. The object was gifted to the University of Wales, Aberystwyth by John Bancroft Willans, a subscriber of the Egypt Exploration Fund/Society, who received the object in 1903. It was subsequently gifted to the Egypt Centre in 1997.
