Steatite Stomach Amulet




Stomach ache? Indigestion? Chnoubis Naabis Bienyth, shatterer of Giants, crusher of snakes, will help!

This object was donated to the Kelsey Museum of Archeology, University of Michigan and came from the private collection of Alexander G. Ruthven and is a good illustration of the role of collectors in preserving objects from teh past and making them available for public display and study.
