Pectoral of Tutankhamun
It is a pectoral decorated in a complex way: the central part of the pectoral, which represents the name of the king, consists, in the middle, of a large lapis lazuli scarab. Below it is the hieroglyphic sign "neb", which resembles a basket inlaid with blue glass; above this are the solar and lunar disks made of electrum. The central scarab is provided with the wings of a falcon. At the bottom of the pectoral is a frieze of lotus flowers.
