These next amulets are very important amulets representing the god Shu. Shu was the god of the air. As god of the air, Shu was very important because humans need air. Temple lofts open to the air were often referred to as "windows of Shu". The first amulet on the left is a very nice representation of the god Shu. It is a smaller amulet, but it has very nice detail, showing shu with his typical hands in the air form. The next amulet on the right is a large amulet with a turquoise color. It also represents Shu in the asme form and is approximately 1" in height. This amulet does have a small chip near the feet, where the amulet on the left is completely intact. Both amulets have a back pillar which is characteristic of the 26th Dynasty (ca. 600 B.C)
