Terminal from a Broad Collar Ptolemaic PeriodEgypt
Description
Object Label: The broad collar was part of the funerary dress affording magical protection for its wearer. Examples with falcon-headed terminals symbolic of Horus in his role as avenger of his murdered father Osiris are known from as early as the Middle Kingdom. This particular terminal, which exhibits the same color scheme as fine Twenty-third Dynasty specimens inlaid with semiprecious stones, illustrates the use of glass as a substitute for more costly elements. Caption: Terminal from a Broad Collar, 305–30 B.C.E.. Gold, glass, 1 3/8 x 1 3/4 x 1/4 in. (3.5 x 4.5 x 0.7 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 65.3.2. (Photo: Brooklyn Museum)
