Now ruined, this bronze aegis was once an outstanding jewel. Goddess Tefnut as a lioness is capped by the solar disc protected by the cobra. On her left, the reigning king is shown wearing his double Upper and Lower Egypt crown, also protected by the cobra. Most of the large and intricate collar is missing, as well as the counterpoise and cobras on each side. (Compare to #00380, a complete aegis-menat collar.) |
