Summary
Large Djed-pillars such as this were used for the living in festival or temple contexts, but were also attached to the body of a deceased. Usually, they were used as part of an amulet set, which included more than one of these pillars. This pillar dates in the Late Period (664-332 BC), and is excellent example for the high quality of amulet production of the 26th Dynasty (664-525 BC).
