    CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION Green glazed faience amulet in the form of Ptah Pataikos. The nude god stands wearing a tight cap-like hairdo. He is crowned with an Atef-crown. The crown is decorated, on the sides, with uraei, and in the center with a beetle. On each of the god's shoulders squats a baboon crowned with a crescent and sun-disk. The god holds, to his chest either straps or knives. The god has four wings which spring from his back. A back pillar runs half way up the height of the crown. At the top of the pillar is a ribbed eyelet. Condition: Upper left part of crown, part of left baboon, and entire figure from just above the knees down is not preserved; the glaze has gone white for the most part but there are traces of light green glaze preserved.
