The pectoral, adorned with a winged scarab and guarded by the powerful goddesses Isis and Nephthys, is a mesmerizing artifact that transports us to ancient Egypt. Its intricate design showcases the craftsmanship of the time, with every detail meticulously carved into its surface. Another remarkable pectoral features the sacred eye flanked by the serpent goddess of the North. This symbolizes protection and power, reminding us of the significance placed on these divine beings in ancient cultures. In an 1825 artwork depicting head and chest arteries, we are reminded of how vital our they are to our overall health. The delicate network of veins depicted serves as a reminder of their importance in sustaining life. A stunning piece crafted from gold cloisonné catches our attention next. Adorned with semi-precious stones and glass-paste, this pectoral showcases exquisite artistry. The addition of a winged scarab adds an element of mystique to this already captivating piece. Moving away from artifacts, we encounter a soldier from the Crown of Aragon engraved onto history's pages. His strong pectorals speak volumes about his strength and dedication to his duty. From Tutankhamun's tomb emerges another ancient Egyptian treasure – a beautifully crafted pectoral that reflects both religious beliefs and artistic finesse. It serves as a testament to their reverence for symbolism and beauty even in death. Traveling further back in time brings us to Urartu civilization where we find yet another extraordinary example – a golden medallion decorated with intricate patterns adorning its surface alongside an accompanying pectoral. These pieces offer glimpses into forgotten civilizations' rich cultural heritage. Nature also presents us with fascinating examples like Chelidonichthys lucerna or Tub Gurnard fish whose vibrant colors adorn its majestic fins resembling intricately designed pecs found on sculptures or jewelry pieces. A wooden statue captures our attention next, portraying a young servant girl.
