Pectoral in the Form of a Winged Scarab
Material: Gold, Carnelian, Turquoise, Green Feldspar, Lapis Lazuli, Calcite
This is, of course, part of a large cache of items found by Howard Carter. It was discovered with many other pieces of jewelry in a box inlaid with ebony and ivory. In the usual style of the jewelry belonging to Tutankhamun, this pectoral features a series of iconographical elements of great symbolic value, such as the scarab rendered in lapis lazuli.
