Necklace with amulets

“In addition to appearing in full form on amulets, images of Bes heads were also popular from the Third Intermediate Period on. These amulets were worn during life as protection for women and children. The tyet amulet is usually a funerary talisman found placed at the neck of the mummy. Associated spells proclaim, ‘The power of Isis will be the protection of his/her body,’ indicating a connection between Isis and the form of the amulet.” (Jennifer Wegner, label text, “Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt”)
