Description: | This pectoral is made from a rectangular sheet of metal worked in repousse, in the form of the inner part of the temple. There is a cavetto cornice above a portico chased with two lines marking the upper ends of the architrave, and a group of six vertical lines in the centre. The object is intact. There are traces of black resin or woodpitch from the mummy wrappings in which it was originally embedded. The upper edge is formed with a loop at the rear which has been crushed on to the remains of the linen cord by which it would have been suspended around the neck of the mummy.
