Jewelry element representing a falcon wearing a double crown
Middle Kingdom
Not on view
This ornament depicts a crowned falcon sitting on a nb-sign, the word for gold, with a scarab beetle at the bird's feet. Surprising many of the piece's inlay are still present, whose strong colors add to the striking nature of the piece.
