Pectoral with Tutankhamun between Ptah and Sekhmet, found inside a box with ebony and ivory inlays. The scene inside the pectoral depicts the moment of the coronation of the pharaoh receiving power from the gods. The pectoral is in the shape of the pylon of a temple placed on a base decorated with eight solar disks flanked by the symbols of eternity. At the top is a starry sky with an architrave above it. Pharaoh is standing in the centre, wearing a robe made of feathers, the blue crown khepresh, and holding the sceptre and scourge. In front of him Ptah sits enthroned, as does Sekhmet, behind the ruler. The goddess raises her right hand towards the pharaoh as a sign of protection. In front of both deities are two isciriptions in which Ptah grants life, power and health, while Sekhmet eternity. On the right, behind Ptah, is the god Heh and above him a crowned cobra; on the left, behind Sekhmet, is the ka of the pharaoh and above him a crowned hawk. The rest of the necklace consists of fifteen panels surrounded by a double row of polychrome beads. The decoration of the panels contains both apotropaic symbols and cartouches of Tutankhamun. At the other end of the necklace is another element in the form of a temple pillar, with the enthroned pharaoh before a winged goddess. Fourteen rows of beads terminating in gold fish and flowers branch off from the gilded base.

Tutankhamun is depicted as a boy with a shaved head and an elongated skull, a typical feature of the Amarna style. His ears have holes for earrings. His head symbolically emerges from a lotus flower evoking the moment of creation when the lotus emerged from the Nun, the primordial ocean, from which the sun god was born in the guise of a child. Similarly, the pharaoh identified with the sun will be reborn every day. The support on which the head rests is painted blue to evoke water.

Detail. The king is welcomed into the otherworldly world by the goddess Hathor and Anubis, the jackal-headed embalming god. The pharaoh wears the khat on his head, a headdress made of a cloth, usually white or yellow, gathered behind the nape of the neck in a braid. A funerary connotation of the khat is very likely due to its frequent appearance as the headdress of the ka of the ruler and of the goddesses assigned to protect the deceased king. Above the king's head, on the right, are the hieroglyphics that form his coronation name: Nebkhaperura 'the lord of Ra's rays'.

The king is followed by his ka, who on his head, above his long tripartite wig, bears the hieroglyphic sign 'ka', consisting of two raised arms. The king wears a short skirt and the Nemes, an exclusively royal headdress, made of a rectangular cloth that was placed on the sovereign's head and passed behind the ears, creating two bands at the sides of the neck that fell on the chest (elements that are often compared to the wings of a falcon in texts), while the back was knotted into a braid that fell on the back. From the wall paintings of royal tombs we know that the hairstyle was in horizontal blue and gold stripes.

Detail. The Ka of the ruler clutches the ankh symbol of life. The Ka is the vital, invisible and intangible element that makes man live and distinguishes him from the corpse. It is born with man and follows him into the afterlife. The royal Ka was the divine aspect of the king's personality; the ruler became a god at the moment he united with his Ka, i.e. at the moment of the coronation when he sat on the throne of Horo.
