Amulet of Tutu
Object type: amulet, lion
Date: 400 – 30
Materials: glass
Location: egypt

Starting in the later Late Period and continuing through the Ptolemaic Period, a type of glass amulet cast by pressing the glass into a shallow open mold appears. The back was left rough, and the amulets may look ragged because glass overflowed the mold around the edges. The earlier amulets are monochrome, bi- or multicolor amulets supplement the repertoire during the Ptolemaic Period. Some of the amulets can be specifically tied to spells of the Book of the Dead – for example, acc. no. 17.194.2526 – and most are clearly funerary amulets, presumably meant to be wrapped between the bandages of the mummy where the presence of the amulet would do its job irrespective of its degree of finish. While amulets do exist of Tutu, he is not particularly known as a funerary deity.

Artist role: artist

Artist dates: 1853 – 1914
Subjects: men,portraits

Born into a distinguished family of scientists and statisticians, Bertillon began his career as a clerk in the Identification Bureau of the Paris Prefecture of Police in 1879. Tasked with maintaining reliable police records of offenders, he developed the first modern system of police identification. The system, which became known as Bertillonage, had three components: anthropometric measurement, precise verbal description of the prisoner’s physical characteristics, and standardized photographs of the face. In the early 1890s Paris was subject to a wave of bombings and assassination attempts carried out by anarchist proponents of "propaganda of the deed." One of Bertillon’s greatest successes came in March 1892, when his system of identification led to the arrest of an anarchist bomber who went by the name Ravachol (2005.100.375.348). The publicity surrounding the case earned Bertillon the Legion of Honor and encouraged police departments around the world to adopt his anthropometric system.

Interior scene with six women conversing and working wool The woman to the right of the column, who has just arrived, offers a long fillet (band) to her seated friend and receives a flower in return. Behind her, another woman walks toward a seated woman holding up a necklace. Two women work wool. One stands with a distaff in her left hand. From the hank of wool wound around it, she has drawn out a length of fibers and is twisting them into yarn with her right hand by twirling the long spindle that hangs over a wool basket. The other woman sits with one leg propped up and her skirt raised above the knee. She apparently is winding wool into a skein and drawing the yarn over her leg to prevent it from snarling.

Scarab Inscribed with the Names of Amun-Re and Neit
Object type: scarab, amun re, neit symbol
Date: 1295 – 1070
Materials: faience
Location: egypt

This scarab dates to the late New Kingdom’s Ramesside Period (Dynasty 19-20, ca. 1295-1070 B.C.) based on its morphology. The upper part of the scarab’s base is inscribed with the name of the sun god Amun-Re. Below is a narrow, concave line for the hieroglyph meaning lord. Numerous scarabs of the New Kingdom bear the name Amun-Re accompanied by this sign, suggesting a reading ‘the lord Amun-Re’ or 'Amun-Re is (my) lord'. The motif at the bottom is the symbol of the goddess Neith, a warrior and mother goddess whose cult gained importance under the Ramesside dynasties, when she was also closely associated with the sun god.
