Amulet of the God Shu
Shu was the god of air and wind, the first of the gods created by Atum. He was the consort of Tefnut, whom Atum created next. According to Egyptian mythology, Shu and Tefnut were created so that Atum would not be alone in existence. Pictured: Faience amulet depicting the Egyptian god Shu. 26th Dynasty, 664-525 BCE.
