Miniature Collar with the Egyptian Goddess #Sekhmet
This #miniature might have been used as a ritual instrument. The head of Sekhmet on the frontside is a symbol of her protective powers while the engraving on the backside depicting her as a mother suckling a young prince symbolizes her ability to nourish the king.
Gold, 6.8 x 6.6 x 6.8 cm, ca. 945-715 B.C., #Egypt
