Summary[edit]

Description
English: Broad collar Egyptian necklace of the 12th dynasty official Wah from his Theban tomb. In ancient Egypt, both men and women wore jewelry for adornment, magical protection, and as a symbol of status. Broad collar necklaces must have been particularly popular because from the earliest times they are worn by the principal figures in sculpture and wall paintings. Wah, however, could not have worn this turquoise-colored broad collar in life because there is no clasp and the ties are not strong enough to hold it on. It was made of many faience beads specifically for his burial and was simply placed on the front of the mummy while it was being wrapped. (Source: Metropolitan Museum of Art)
