| Abstract | ||||
| This study deals with an unidentified and unknown artifact that lost its upper part and its remaining part was inscribed with hieroglyphic texts on the body and the base in a bad condition. This research studied this piece to offer various interpretations of its use by comparing it with similar artifacts. Several possibilities have been raised about the nature of this artifact, which is believed to be part of a Funerary Cone, part of a Sistrum handle, part of a Mirror handle, part of a Tube for storing Alkuhl and Cosmetics, or part of a Cylinder Seal. However, only its base was used for the engraving process such as the Button seal. It may have been a seal, but it was used as an Amulet only and not for the purpose of the seal itself, or perhaps for other purposes. It was found near the "Ra" temple complex in Heliopolis during archaeological surveys and excavations in the area in 1992 AD and it is currently preserved in the museum store in Arab El-Hesn in Al-Mataria No. 241. | ||||
