دلاية قلادة من الذهب مصوغة بطريقة التفريغ، ومطعمة بأحجار شبه كريمة وزجاج ملون.
حيث شكل العنصر الأوسط جعرانا مجنحا من نادر العقيق المسمى الخلقدوني، واتخذت الأفرع المدلاة شكل اللوتس والبردي والخشخاش.
على حين يستقر زورق شمس صغير على أقدام الجعران الأمامية، وعليه عين حورس اليسرى الأوجات، تكتنفها حيتان. ويعلو الأوجات رمزا القمر، مؤلفان من هلال من ذهب وقرص من فضة، يضم الربين تحوت ورع حورأختي، اللذين يتوجان صورة الملك.

Ye shall fall down upon the Earth and become animals, upon the earth in the form of fishes. Male enemies, female enemies all, destroyeth them Osiris. He passeth through heaven, he appeareth on earth. Come ye forth upon the water, pass ye along in front of the starry deities, and slaughtereth them
