Treasure of Tutankhamun. Bracelet with scarab-shaped clasp
Scarab-shaped bracelet found in a scroll-shaped container. The central element is the scarab, or Khepri, the sun as it rises in the morning, a symbol of eternal rebirth for the deceased pharaoh. The various parts of the scarab are bordered by golden threads. Between the legs of the scarab is the cartouche with the pharaoh's coronation name (Neckheperure). The bracelet is connected to the scarab by a gold bar and is divided into seven sections consisting of rows of cylindrical beads placed between circular beads.
