There are at least two in Vienna that were on display in the Papyrusmuseum which I visited last week. There were no inventory numbers but they lay in "Vitrine 13", nos. 6 (snake) and 7 (dog, snake and satan!). If you want to know more about these you can contact the papyrusmuseum.Tommy Wassermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674769923361035721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-52905424099855194602007-08-02T14:27:00.000+01:002007-08-02T14:27:00.000+01:00James,Could you tell us a bit more about Kelhoffer...James,<BR/><BR/>Could you tell us a bit more about Kelhoffer's reference?Peter M.

I'd gladly mail a bright, shiny ruble to whoever could provide detailed information on the amulet that depicts immunity from snake-bite -- provenance, date of production, material used, that sort of thing. Kelhoffer mentioned it in "Miracle and Mission" but the description was a bit vague, and I haven't been able to track down Bell's (was it Bell?) description.<BR/><BR/>These seem to be the go-to guys on such subjects. Can they help?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
