Symbolism & Design

• Horus is shown as a falcon with outstretched wings, encircling the sun disk
• He holds shen rings, symbolising eternity, protection, and completeness
• The design represents divine authority, kingship, and protection of the pharaoh
• Pectorals such as this were worn over the chest as symbols of status and spiritual power

Historical Context

Pectorals were highly significant ornamental chest pieces worn by kings and high-ranking officials in Ancient Egypt. They were typically crafted from precious materials such as gold, silver, and gemstones, demonstrating both wealth and religious devotion.

This particular design is based on an original artefact discovered in the tomb of King Tutankhamun, who ruled during the 18th Dynasty (c. 1336–1327 BCE). It reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic achievement of the New Kingdom period.
