I definitely liked the crocodile the best, the color is very vibrant and beautiful. I also liked the fish and scarab amulets, which were composed of both metal and stone unlike the others. -Erica H
I liked the heart amulet the best! I think it's really cool that Egyptians thought the heart was in control of intelligence, memory and identity. They realized even in ancient times that the heart was a very important organ.
I like the fish amulet. It looks so intricate. I think its endearing they were used to keep girls from drowning. I wonder what work or activities would have put girls at higher risk of drowning...
I like the scarabs. From an artistic standpoint you can do alot with th shape of the carvings loke beads and other things. They are the most diverse of the amulets.
The amulets are really cool and extremely detailed for how small they are! The color of the materials used are gorgeous and I was surprised to see that some were man made, maybe some amulets were made from molds? Still the details are pretty cool and i think the Anubis one was pretty cool.
I love the scarab amulets. It reminds me alot of the pheniox. something dieing and being reborn. Such as the scarab being put in the ground as a symbol of death and bringing new life. A new begining.

I adore the heart amulet--instead of symbolizing love or lust, it symbolizes intelligence, identity, and memory. It's absolutely wonderful.

I like the Falcon and Dragonfly amulets the most, Falcon is protective, and I like the look. Dragonfly is a simple and interesting shape.
