Corselet of Tutankhamun.

 This combined corselet, collar, and pectoralis a magnificent piece of jewellery considered to be a royal and official article of clothing, depicted in relief and sculpture throughout Egyptian history.

In the New Kingdom, this corselet appears especially in divine portrayal, decorated with feather patterns and always worn with the short, close-fitting kilt. Tutankhamun’s corselet is made of two rectangles of stylized feathers, divided into rows of alternating blue turquoise, lapis lazuli, golden chevrons, or inverted V’s, and triangles of red glass.
