headrests, amulets

Small headrest amulet of blue glazed faience. The reverse side is completely flat, with only the front having the design of the headrest. There is a rectangular base, single central column, and curve. A background section flanks the column on both sides to give some sort of support to the amulet. The edges of the curve are not symmetrical. The glaze has chipped in some places, especially on the reverse side. From Dendera group 21.
