Amulet of ba bird wearing a sun disk, Late Period–Ptolemaic Period, 525–30 BC, From Egypt, Glass, H. × W. cm (1 1/4 × 1 1/4 in.), Starting in the later Late Period and continuing through the Ptolemaic Period, a type of glass amulet cast by pressing the glass into a shallow open mold appears. The back was left rough, and the amulets may look ragged because glass overflowed the mold around the edges
