| Diadem with a Pair of Gazelle Heads |
The headpiece is made from gold with carnelian, opaque turquoise glass and decayed roughed glass.
The headpiece, called a diadem, signified the queen's high social standing. In historical contexts, diadems symbolized nobility and authority. Wearing it showcased her position, set her apart as a leader, and connected her to divine realms. The diadem's exclusivity reinforced her elite status and importance.
Gazelles, symbolizing sun worship and fertility, often seen by the Nile, played a notable part in a key Goddess myth due to their habitat.
