GOLD INLAID PECTORAL
Lapis lazuli scarabs dominate the imagery of this bulky pectoral. The centrepiece is the morning barque of the sun, where two uraei flank the largest scarab, above which is a carnelian solar disk. The back of this piece of jewelry is equally remarkable. The flat gold backs are molded to form realistic images of the underside of the beetles.
