Fragment of nekhekh-sceptre

Fragment of a nekhekh-sceptre, composed of four elements. The upper part is narrow and long and consists of a folded bronze foil, which is tied to the central part with a metallic wire. The decoration of the central part of the fragment represents two rows of beads, and it’s recessed for the now missing inlays. Two drop-shaped pendants are connected to the lower part of the fragment. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
