| Description |  |
The gold wired with duck-head terminals may have been strung through the loops on the falcon-headed broadcollars, allowing each to be hung around the neck of a mummy. The vulture pectorals have no rings for attachment and would simply have been placed over the chest within the mummy wrappings. The amulets representing pieces of folded linen would also have been placed within the wrapping.
