Pair of Djed-Pillar Amulets by Unknown. Small, light greenish-gray stone or ceramic object. The object is a pillar with a distinctive shape. The bottom is wider and tapers upwards. There are horizontal ridges along the bottom section. Above the ridges, the pillar has a narrower section. Further up, there are three raised horizontal bands. The top section flares out with a wavy edge. The object has a glossy finish and some brown spots. It casts a shadow on a gray surface. The background fades from black at the top to gray.
