Egyptian Talismans: Scarabs and the Eye of Horus
A scarab and winged scarab occupy the top of a numbered plate above eye emblems, slender pendants and small pillars. Two eye forms show differing profiles, allowing the motif’s details to be compared. The caption identifies Egyptian talismans and the image is signed by William Thomas Pavitt. The book brings the objects together as a visual key to the forms discussed in its text.
