EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating "Necklace of the Rising Sun" is a stunning piece of ancient Egyptian jewelry that once adorned the tomb of Tutankhamun. Crafted during the New Kingdom period, this exquisite necklace showcases the exceptional skill and artistry of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. Measuring an impressive length of 41 cm, this necklace features intricate gold inlay work embellished with semi-precious stones. At its center lies a divine bark bearing the sun god, symbolizing eternal life and power. Flanking it are anthropomorphic god Heh holding hieroglyphics representing eternity. This remarkable pendant also incorporates other significant symbols from Egyptian mythology. The snake, sacred animal of Thoth, the moon god, coils gracefully around the central design while a cobra adorns its topmost point. An openwork pectoral displays a scarab beetle - an emblem associated with rebirth and protection. The presence of baboons further adds to its mystical allure as they were considered sacred animals associated with wisdom and knowledge in ancient Egypt. Every element intricately carved into this masterpiece reflects deep reverence for deities and belief in their protective powers. Currently housed at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this extraordinary artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and artistic brilliance that flourished during ancient times. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today as it stands as a testament to human creativity across centuries.
