Journey into the Mummy
Jewellery and amulets
Nesperennub wears a large ornament on his chest (known as a
pectoral) in the shape of two outstretched wings. Close to his
right collar bone is a stone scarab beetle called a 'heart scarab'.
A group of amulets has been placed on his throat, including a
wedjat eye. These and other amulets on his body are meant to
protect him and give him power in the afterlife.
He has two leather pendants around his neck, and red leather
tabs on his chest and neck. He also wears rings on the fingers of
each hand, probably of gold. These may carry special markings to
help him in the afterlife.
