pectoral | British Museum

Polychrome glazed composition pectoral in the form of a 'wedjat'-eye: the eye and the highly stylized eyebrow are of blue glazed composition, while the area between the angled bar of the eye and the eye itself is filled with red glazed composition. The cornea and iris are white and black respectively. There are three rows of tiny cats decorating the exaggerated area between the eye and eyebrow. There are two suspension rings at the top.
