Pectoral necklace of Tutankhamun - Min. of Tourism & Antiquities
CAIRO – 25 October 2022: This beautifully crafted necklace is full of symbols and religious motifs.
Two baboons are placed spectacularly on either side representing Thoth, the ancient Egyptian deity of writing and wisdom.
A crescent and full moon adorn the baboons’ heads as they worship the deity Khepri, depicted here as a scarab with a solar disk on its head.
The chain is decorated with hieroglyphic symbols such as the ankh (life), djed (stability), and sa (protection) signs.
