La composition héraldique montre deux faucons, qui symbolisent le dieu Horus, protégeant le cartouche du roi Sésostris II. En-dessous, un dieu assis, Heh, tient des signes indiquant que le roi sera doté d'une longue vie. Comme tous les pectoraux appartenant aux femmes royales, l'imagerie renvoie exclusivement au roi, et non à la princesse qui en était propriétaire. Le pectoral royal est apparu pour la première fois au milieu de la douzième dynastie. » : Cartel du Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2015. |
