It was common practice in ancient Egypt to carry amulets for good luck and protection. The shape and material determined its powers.

This printed burlap satchel has six of the most popular amulets of the times - Ankh (symbol of life), Scarab (rebirth), Eye of Horus (protection), Djed (strength), Cat (Bast & joy), and Bes (Protector of Children). Amulets range in size from the wee 3/4 inch high cat, to the 1 5/8 inch scarab.

These small amulets have hanging holes and can be strung on a cord, set in a curio or carried in your pocket for good luck of course! Includes the pouch and story card.
