Card/Transcription No.: 256a-6

256, A. Gold Mask of the King 6

The scarab hung pendant to the neck, by means of ornamental
straps and long thick linen cord and was attached to the side
clasps of the necklaces, around the base of the uraei.
The ornamental straps of the scarab are made up of odd parts of
the trappings of Smenkh-ka-Ra similar to those of the side
trappings found on the exterior decoration (256, B) of Tut ankh
Amen's mummy. On their backs are parts of a 'Heart Text' which
included the cartouche <> of Smenkh-ka-Ra. They are threaded
together with green, red, and dark blue faience tubular beads
intermixed with gold tubular beads, which like the plaques have
no particular order and are obviously odd pieces and beads used.
The inscriptions that occur on the back of the plaques, read:
