Ancient Egypt

 

Maniature broad collar

This is a miniature broad collar for ancient Egyptian culture. It is made from gold, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and carnelian. The outline of this collar is forged or soldered. This broad collar was depicted through pharaohs, but it was

meant to lie across the chest of a divine statuette.   (“Miniature broad collar | early Ptolemaic Period | The Metropolitan Museum of Art” n.d.)
