Original Message: Pectoral and Bandoleer (?) |
---|
The upper shot here is a close-up of a mummy's chest, that is wearing a gold pectoral depicting a bird—probably an eagle. The lower object is belt-like, and may be a bandoleer. That is, either worn around the waist, or slung over one shoulder and worn across the chest. The elements are rectangular glazed faience (or glazed steatite) double-perforated beads, with drop pendants that represent hieroglyphs—of the same material(s). JDA.
