Description: The scarab's underside features chapter 30 of the Book of the Dead to protect pharaoh Shoshenq II's heart. The pectoral, overall, has the form of a shrine. Shoshenq II's cartouche appears between the scarab and the winged sun disk above it. Goddesses kneel on either side of the scarab. This photo was taken at the King Tut exhibition at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington State, USA...in 2012, not 2010.
