SHESHONQ II:
Sheshonq II, was the third pharaoh of the XXII Dynasty of Egypt, whose rule dates back to the beginning of the 9th century BC.
He was buried in the antechamber of the tomb of Psusennes I, in Tanis, he was the only pharaoh of this dynasty whose tomb was not looted. His grave was discovered by Pierre Montet in 1939, and inside it were found a lot of jewelry: gold funeral mask, silver sarcophagus with a hawk’s head, amulets, and other precious objects,
The pectoral made of gold and lapis lazuli, has a peculiarity: in it we see the beetle pushing the solar disk which represents the rebirth of the sovereign like Khepri, so far everything normal, it is like many pectorals of this type. However, the two cobras represented on both sides, which are also common in this type of jewelry, are an anomaly since the two wear the White Crown, when it is normal for one to be touched with White and the other to show Red.
It’s believed that it was probably a goldsmith’s cliff
