The Amulet of the Golden Collar

The Amulet of the Collar of Gold

The Amulet of the Golden Collar was intentional to give the deceased power to free himself from his swathings; it is set by the rubric to the "CLVIIIth" Chapter of the (Book of the Dead) to be identified on his neck on the day of the funeral, and to be made of gold. The text of the Chapter learns:

"O my father, my brother, my mother Isis, I am unswathe, and I see. I am one of those who are unswathe and who look the god Seb".

This amulet is very particular, and comes out to have been the aspect of beliefs which raised up in the period of the 26th dynasty, about B.C. 550.
