The Global Egyptian Museum

This necklace, which was worn around the neck by a six-month old baby, is comprised of five pendants shaped in the likeness of shells: two made of two welded pieces of electrum, two made of an engraved opaque red stone and one made of gabbro, together with fifteen ring-shaped beads made from gabbro and decreasing in size. Gabbro is a material favoured by Nubians, but the pendants are undeniably of Egyptian manufacture.

Ce collier, porté au cou par un bébé de moins de six mois, est composé de cinq pendentifs en forme de coquillage: deux en électrum, faits de deux plaques soudées; deux en pierre opaque rouge gravée et un en gabbro; et quinze perles annulaires en gabbro, de taille décroissante. Le gabbro est un matériau très prisé par les Nubiens, mais les pendeloques sont incontestablement de travail égyptien.
