A necklace with a figurine of the Egyptian god Pataikos has been unearthed in an excavation of the ancient city of Perre, in southeastern Turkey. The faience amulet is the largest piece on a necklace or bracelet of beads, including other apotropaic emblems like glass evil eyes. It was discovered in a 2,100-year-old chamber tomb from the Hellenistic period, and is the first representation of Pataikos to be found in Anatolia.
