This amulet represents a lion-headed goddess holding a sistrum (a musical instrument like a rattle). She is seated on an openworked throne that is decorated with the depictions of a snake god (called Nehebkaw) and another lion-headed goddess. Several lion-headed goddesses such as Sakhmet, Bastet, and Wadjet are known from ancient Egypt and it is not sure which one is represented here. The loop at the back of the head was meant for suspension. Amulets like this one would evoke the power of the goddess and put the wearer under her protection.
