Description

Discovered in the Valley of Kings, 1882.  This necklace consists of a 3-piece scarab beetle made from Egyptian faience, 24 karat gold chain, and beads also of faience.  The wings would have originally been tied to the body with string or connected with gold rings, and the chain was most likely attached in the same way.
