Eternal Egypt: Pectoral of Gilded Wood

Curated by ACT

A fine pectoral of a high official made of gilded wood, to imitate a real gold pectoral. It is in the form of a shrine topped by the cornice. The pectoral is ornamented with three inlaid amulets: the Djed pillar, symbol of stability and endurance to the left, the scarab of the morning sun in the middle and the Sa, symbol of protection to the right.
