Tutankhamun's Treasure. Pharaoh's inner sarcophagus

Tutankhamun is depicted with the uraeus and vulture on his forehead and holding the sceptre and flagellum, symbols of kingship. His chest is decorated with a collar composed of eleven rows of tubular beads made of polychrome glass paste; splendid images of the cobra Udjet and the vulture Nekhbet are also depicted, with their wings folded as a sign of protection, while on the legs appear some delicate reliefs depicting Isis and Nephthys, the winged divinities who protect the dead.
