“A faience amulet of a lioness-headed goddess decorates this necklace. The goddess may represent Sekhmet or Bastet. Amulets of this type are typical of the Third Intermediate Period. Seven scarabs are also strung on this necklace.” (Jennifer Wegner, label text, “Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt”)
