Pectoral
Description
<p>The shrine-shaped pectoral has a cavetto cornice at the upper edge. The front displays the kneeling goddesses Isis and Nepthys in the solar barque, each with one arm raised in a gesture of adoration. In the center was once an inscribed scarab, which is now lost. A winged sun-disk above the boat completes the scene. The back exhibits two enthroned gods--falcon-headed Horus and jackal-headed Anubis--supporting the now-missing scarab.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/42.199' rel='external'>Pectoral</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
