Triad of Isis, Nepthys, and Harpocrates
(Ancient Egypt and Nubia )
While Egyptian jewelry was worn in daily life, most of the examples known today came from tombs, where they adorned mummies. Amulets provided magical protection for the wearer in both life and death. Represented here are Horus the Child (Harpokrates) flanked by Isis and Nephthys.
