EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Ancient Egyptian jewelry piece is a gold plaque featuring the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun (reigned 1332-1323 BC) in the center, surrounded by intricate designs and symbols. Discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter and his team in the Valley of Kings, this ear ornament is one of the many treasures found in Tutankhamun's tomb. The central image of the king is flanked by two uraei, the upright depiction of a cobra, a symbol of Egyptian royalty and divine protection. The cobras are adorned with the nemes headdress, a symbol of pharaonic power and authority. The gold plaque is intricately decorated with precious and semi-precious stones, including lapis lazuli, turquoise, carnelian, and garnet. The use of uraei as symbols of royalty can be traced back to the Old Kingdom period (circa 2680-2181 BC). These cobra symbols were believed to represent the god Atum, the creator deity, and the pharaoh as the living embodiment of the god. The uraei were also associated with the goddess Wadjet, the protector of Lower Egypt, and the goddess Hathor, the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. This exquisite piece of jewelry is a testament to the wealth and power of the Ancient Egyptian civilization and the reverence they held for their pharaohs. The intricate designs, the use of precious stones, and the symbolism of the uraei all contribute to the timeless beauty and allure of this ancient treasure.
