Pendant in the Shape of an Uraeus, Middle Kingdom, 2030–1650 B.C., From Egypt; Possibly from Upper Egypt, Thebes, Wadi Gabbanat el-Qurud, Tomb of the Three Foreign Wives of Thutmose III (Wadi D, Tomb 1), Electrum, H. 5.4 (2 1/8 in.); W. 2.5 cm (1 in.), The uraeus was a royal symbol of protection, as the representation of a rearing cobra could magically spit fire at the enemies of Egypt from its perch on the king's forehead. During the late Old Kingdom, as private people became identified with Osiris and thus with the king after death, some royal iconography, including the uraeus, was adapted for use by the elite.
