One of Tutankhamun's Golden pendants, from the Tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, discovered in 1922-1923. He belonged to the 18th Dynasty (r. 1332–1323 BC).
Inlaid with semiprecious stones and colored glass, the central element of the composition is a winged scarab with a yellow stone of disputed origin which grasps on one side a lotus and on the other a papyrus flower, flanked by two uraei (cobras).
A gold frame outlines the main composition and supports pendants of lotus flowers, papyrus. A slim solar boat rests upon the front feet of the scarab and carries the Udjat eye of Horus, flanked by two cobras. The Udjat eye is surmounted by a lunar crescent of gold and a silver disk with images of the gods, Thoth and Re-Horakhty, crowning the central figure of the king.
