XIX Dynasty or later after 1350 BC. The reverse side shows a winged Bes figure surrounded by two winged uraei at top (with a nefer sign in front of one of them meaning "goodness" or "perfection") and two symbols at bottom that look like city walls. The side of the plaque isn't really translatable (except for the nefer sign)--the images were just selected for their protective significance. Provenance: Edward Drummond Libbey purchased in Egypt 1906; gifted to the Toledo Museum of Art in 1906 Accession no. 1906.97. W. 1 1/32 x 1 1/8 in.; Greatest thickness: 9/32 in..
