BRINGING TUTANKHAMUN TO LIFE
)
Winged Scarab pectoral pendant illustrating the throne name of King Tutankhamun, “NEB- KHEPREU-RE.” The central element is the scarab “KHEPRI” originally made from a fine piece of lapis lazuli, and three strokes of plural “sign in hieroglyphs” below it.
Between the forelegs of the scarab the sun disc ‘RE’ is depicted. The pectoral was made of a clear red carnelian set in gold which represents the ball of mud and dung containing its eggs that was rolled forward by the beetle. Beneath the plural strokes “sign in hieroglyphs” is a basket shape “Neb” inlaid with turquoise.
A beautiful replica of one of Histories most iconic necklaces
