The amulet of the collar of gold

The amulet of the collar of gold

This amulet was intended to give the deceased power to free himself
from his swathings; it is ordered by the rubric to the CLVIIIth Chapter of
the Book of the Dead to be placed on his neck on the day of the
funeral, and to be made of gold. The text of the Chapter reads:--"O my father,
my brother, my mother Isis, I am unswathed, and I see. I am one of
those who are unswathed and who see the god Seb." This amulet is very rare,
and appears to have been the expression of beliefs which grew up in the
period of the XXVIth dynasty, about B.C. 550.
