Egyptian Sealing Amulet

Egyptian sealing amulet hand carved from sand stone.
But what is this object used for?
Sealing amulets were originally made of obsidian, basalt, or soapstone, materials chosen for their color associated with the underworld and their durability, allowing them to retain their power for eternity. Amulets served as personal adornments for the living and were placed on mummies to protect them and aid them in their journey to the afterlife. The color, shape, and other characteristics of the materials were believed to imbue the amulet and its wearer with specific powers and protections.
This could be intended to seal a wound, preventing harmful forces from entering the body. In any case, it is now presented on a museum-style plinth, transforming it into a magnificent and unusual curiosity!
