Picture 368001 Flexible collar of Nebti, combination of Nekhebet and Buto (vulture and winged serpent) with superb workmanship. Made up of 171 gold plaques inlaid with polychrome glass and threaded together with borders of tiny beads.  Each plaque has a tiny eyelet at its top and bottom and these were threaded together to make the whole piece 'whole'.
