古埃及 Faience 带翅膀的圣甲虫和荷鲁斯的四个儿子的串珠木乃伊面具面板
A fine Egyptian mummy mask panel made of small green, red and black faience beads, restrung in their original arrangement. The panel shows a beaded composition forming a winged scarab, rendered in multi-coloured faience beads. Under the beaded scarab are the four Sons of Horus. Elongated cream faience beads connects the two compositions. The piece would have been part of a larger beaded mummy mask depicting a stylised human face.

According to mythology, the Four Sons of Horus each were attributed a different organ to protect. For Imsety, the liver; for Duamutef, the stomach; for Hapi, the lungs; and for Qebehsenuef, the intestines.
Measurements: Circa L 11.3cm x W 10.8cm
