Djed, wadj, and figures of gods; amulets made of Egyptian faience. Egyptian – Group of 16 Amulets Strung as a Necklace – Walters 481685-1699 – View A.jpg
Created: between circa 600 and circa 500 BC (Late Period)
This group of amulets were strung in modern times to a necklace that follows the order of an amulet necklace found on a mummy in the Faiyum. On this string are 8 “djed” pillars (symbols of Osiris), Thoth, figures of Horus, two figures of Re, a “wadj” (papyrus scepter, symbolizing resurrection), Nephthys, and Khnum. The combination of amulets without an amulet of Isis and only one “wadj” makes it likely that these amulets come from a larger context such as a mummy net or amulet ensemble of a deceased, and not from a single necklace.

LGLou – Own work
In Southern Germany, Alsace and areas of Switzerland, young Jewish boys wore textile neckbands or collars for their brit milah. Coins or coral stones on these neckbands were meant to distract the evil eye away from the boys, thus serving as a form of protection. This practice continued until the early 20th century. These neckbands were also worn by pregnant or birthing women to prevent miscarriage and protect a new-born child. Object number: JMS 1731 Photographer: Dieter Hofer

This wolf hide talisman was Julius
Williams’ wéyekin or personal medicine. It is made from a ?cased? whole wolf skin minus its legs. It was passed down to Julian Williams who added the feather rosettes. A hand hold of buckskin runs through the nose openings as a means to carry the talisman during dances or ceremonies. Wolf power is highly desired among the Nez Perce because of warrior skill, courage and hunting prowess. Wolf skin (Canis lupus), wool, mirrors, feathers, buttons, brass bell.
