A pair of very fine and fairly rare hardstone pesesh-kef amulets.

The pesesh-kef was a stone rod with a split curled end and was used in the mortuary “opening of the mouth" ceremony.

Intact.

Both have un-pierced lugs on the rear.  Later hard-stone amulets are usually un-pierced.

The pesesh-kef is also found with a pierced loop and often with no loop at all.

The comparative photos are from Petrie's book on amulets

Egyptian, Late Period, circa 500 BC.
