Amulets of Hathor
Two small objects have sharply different outlines: one is a narrow disc-crowned form above a wheel-like base, the other a broad framed object with a face at its centre. The caption identifies amulets of Hathor and credits W. A. Mansell and Co. for the photograph. Their projecting supports remain visible, making the plate a comparison of complete portable objects rather than isolated facial details.
