From the Museo Egizio record
Winged-scarab pectoral. The head is broken. The pectoral features numerous recesses for inlays, now missing. The central recess probably once held a scarab. The scarab is holding a shen ring in his hind legs. The falcon wings are finely detailed in three registers. The reverse is smooth and bears three suspension loops. Traces of gilding are visible along the edges on the back. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 32 cm x 8.5 cm x 2.3 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 1 / Room 11 / Showcase 01. Image views available: 2.
