This oval, beetle-shaped pendant is decorated with a picture of a ram-headed sphinx.
The ram is the sacred animal of the god Amun-Re. The sphinx represents the god himself. In front of the sphinx is the uraeus, the royal cobra.
Behind the sphinx is a pot containing leaves. The sphinx is sitting on a base decorated with bent stripes.
The holes on each side indicate this was used as a pendant or amulet. |
