Description
Each morning, the sun was reborn into the world, often in the form of a young child like the one represented in this pendant. Here, the sun child wears an elaborate necklace and sun disk with a protective uraeus snake on his head. On the right side of his head, he wears a braided ponytail (part of which is now missing). This "side-lock of youth" was a common hairstyle for children in ancient Egypt.
