Egyptian and Gnostic Talismans: Pavitt’s Plate
A frog-topped ring, ram’s head, bell, fish, bird and several inscribed gems fill a numbered comparative page. An oval marked IAO and a triangular inscribed amulet stand out among the animal forms. The caption identifies Egyptian and Gnostic talismans, and William Thomas Pavitt signs the plate. The different objects are grouped for the book’s historical comparison of talismanic imagery and inscriptions.
