Treasure of Tutankhamun. Necklace with Ueret-hekau

The depiction seems to refer to a famous mythological episode: for the Egyptians, the pharaoh was suckled by the goddess Isis, who is depicted here in the form of a serpent with a human head, breasts and arms. It could, however, be Ueret-hekau, the goddess 'with great magical powers'.
