Context: This sumptuous pendant is similar in style and workmanship to the splendid jewelry found in the royal tombs of Dynasties 21 and 22 at Tanis, in the Nile Delta. The centerpiece is a trapezoidal chunk of turquoise, its shape vaguely resembling the hieroglyph representing a human nose, eye, and cheek drawn in profile.
