Abstract

amulets, animal bells, votive offerings, worshipers' guides during 
funerary rituals, and ornaments for priestly clothing. It has so many 
different shapes and functions through the different periods of Egypt. 
This study aims to highlight the animal floral bell in ancient Egypt till the 
end of the Ptolemaic period through displaying and exploring the 
different shapes of those bells as well as determining the practical and 
religious functions of animal floral bells. A descriptive and analytical 
methodology will be applied to achieve the aims of this study. The most 
significant finding of this study reveals that oxen, calves, Barbary sheep, 
gazelle and goats are the most represented animals with floral bells.
These animals are decorated with floral bells in funerary procession 
scenes. Moreover, nine types of animal floral bells are classified and 
illustrate their usage in ensuring the ritual's effectiveness and protecting 
it from evil spirits
