Scarab bracelet of Tutankhamun
The principal ornament is a large scarab at one end of the bracelet; when worn, the scarab would have appeared to be the central ornament. The scarab is not a single piece of stone, but is made of a number of pieces of lapis lazuli fitted most carefully into gold cloisonné fixed to a gold plate. Between the rear legs of the scarab is a basket-shaped sign inlaid with blue glass.
