A girl named Dafna Filshteiner was on a hiking trip with her family near the archaeological site of Tel Qana in Hod Hasharon, Israel, when she discovered her finding, the Israel Antitiquities Authority said in a press release. 'I was looking down at the ground to find porcupine needles and smooth pebbles,' Filshteiner said per the press release.
Another decoration on the amulet is the nefer symbol, which in Egyptian means ‘good’ or ‘chosen’. There is also another symbol which looks like a royal staff.' Filshteiner received a certificate of good citizenship for reporting the ancient find.
