An electrum 'as'-amulet: made from four wires placed side by side and held together with five flat pieces of gold foil at the top, sides and bottom and soldered in several places. The object may have formed part of the clasp of a bracelet.
The set gave protection: at Edfu in a scene of the king offering a collar and pectoral to Horus occur the words 'the 'wedjat'-amulets are behind you, the 'sa'-amulets
