Amulets

Illustrated by the Egyptian Collection in University College, London

by W. M. Flinders Petrie

Petrie's pioneering catalogue classifies hundreds of Egyptian amulets into types by their presumed function, such as similars, powers, property and protection. Though its categories are now dated, it remains a foundational reference for the study of Egyptian protective objects.
