Royal images could also include an upright cobra, or uraeus, as a sign of kingship and protection, together with the ceremonial beard. These features communicated office and authority rather than naming a specific ruler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.britishmuseum.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2025-05\/Ancient-Egypt-Symbols-Visit-Resource-Ages-7-11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBritish Museum’s guide to royal Egyptian symbols\u003c\/a\u003e explains the nemes and uraeus. This pendant uses a simplified modern version of that visual language; it is not a portrait that can be assigned to a named pharaoh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePotential provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is \u003cstrong\u003emodern, pre-owned jewellery\u003c\/strong\u003e, not an ancient Egyptian artefact. No visible hallmark or maker’s mark identifies its date, workshop or country. The Egyptian subject speaks to a long history of revival jewellery, but the motif alone does not prove when or where this example was made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGold and value\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXRF testing produced a surface reading consistent with \u003cstrong\u003e9ct yellow gold\u003c\/strong\u003e.
