Descripción : Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom period, 18th Dynasty, reign of Thutmose III, ca. 1479 to 1425 BCE. A hand-carved steatite plaque bead of a rectangular form with an incised striation around the peripheries and a suspension hole oriented lengthwise through the body. The top face of the bead displays the cartouche of Pharaoh Thutmose III (also Thotmosis III or Thothmes, meaning Thoth is born) that consists of the hieroglyphs for a sun disk, a board game, and a scarab, and the encircled cartouche is surmounted by two feathers of Ma'at. The reverse face features a pair of inversely corresponding crocodiles representative of Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of fertility, rebirth and resurrection, and the overall strength of the pharaoh. Covered in layers of turquoise-hued glaze, this is a fine example of pharaonic adornments!
