Scenes depicting the king in the company of gods appear in delicate cloisonné openwork on the front pectoral and the counterweight at the back. The detailed links of the straps linking the two consist of double cartouches encircling the names of the king, alternating with royal titles, deities and amuletic messages in hieroglyphs. The front plaque is architectonic, taking the shape of a shrine, and the king appears before Ptah on the right and Sekhmet on the left; the surface on the back is solid gold and has fine engraved details. The scene on the counterweight is simpler, with the king seated before the goddess Maat..king tut history.CAP/PLF.Supplied by Capital Pictures
