content: From NMNH Exhibit Hall "Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt" label for this artifact, 2011: Nefertem amulet, 310-200 B.C. The lotus on Nefertem's head identifies him as a solar child connected to the morning sun when the lotus blooms. Children often wore Nefertem amulets, as did mummies, to enable rebirth and resurrection.
