Summary
While the gold, blue faience, and carnelian beads interspersed with 11 amulets and thin gold spacers decorated with granulation are genuine, their arrangement in this necklace is a modern reconstruction. The variety of materials used highlights the wealth of resources, both local and imported, available to Egyptian craftsmen. Represented are gods, animals (or parts of them), and plants, all of which were believed to possess protective powers.
