Abstract
Fragments of two Egyptian amulets were found among the remains in SC169: a Shu amulet and an Isis lactans statuette. Both items were made of white faience and were likely imported from Egypt. Description : Fragment, upper torso and head, nose and chin partially chipped off, mold-made, white faience, greenish-blue glaze. Human torso and head adorned with a tripartite wig, beard and sun disc. A stabilizing back pillar was left uninscribed and drilled horizontally at chest level to allow stringing. Enough remains of the left arm to indicate that it was stretched out to the side at a right angle
