Pilgrim flasks were a ceramic form that first appeared in Egypt in the Eighteenth Dynasty. A small quantity of faience amulets in the shape of pilgrim flasks are known in several museum collections, but have not been studied in detail. The amulets are standardized in material and shape and, based on the limited contextual information, likely reflect a specific aspect of local belief, especially since their worn surface and bail for stringing suggests they were worn and touched regularly. It is suggested that these amulets are chronologically restricted and date between the Third Intermediate Period and Late Period, and are related to the contemporary appearance of New Year’s Flasks – a type of pilgrim flask predominantly made in faience and thought to be for celebration of the Nile inundation. By presenting a macro-focus on a little-known amulet type, it is hoped this study will expand our understanding of religious ideology, symbolic meaning, and the changing socio-cultural context in the Third Intermediate Period.

携带洪水的祝福：古埃及朝圣者烧瓶护身符的讨论

朝圣者烧瓶是一种陶瓷形式，最早出现在第十八王朝的埃及。一些朝圣者烧瓶形状的彩陶护身符在几个博物馆藏品中为人所知，但尚未进行详细研究。这些护身符在材料和形状上都是标准化的，并且根据有限的上下文信息，可能反映了当地信仰的一个特定方面，特别是因为它们磨损的表面和用于穿线的保释物表明它们经常被佩戴和触摸。据推测，这些护身符按时间顺序限制在第三中间期和晚期之间，并且与新年烧瓶的当代外观有关——一种主要由彩陶制成的朝圣烧瓶，被认为是为了庆祝尼罗河淹没。
