“This necklace features a large faience scarab as a pendant. Scarabs of this type usually have a pair of wings and were placed on the chest of the mummy. Three steatite plaques are also strung on this necklace, including a wedjat eye amulet.” (Jennifer Wegner, label text, “Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt”)
