CÉSAR DALY'S _Revue de l'Architecture_, a sequel to the _Histoire d'Égypte d'après les Monuments_ (published in 1860) of M. ERNEST DESJARDINS. [388] PIERRET, _Catalogue de la Salle Historique_, Louvre, No. 521. This jewel is reproduced, with many others from the same tomb, in two fine coloured plates in MARIETTE'S unfinished work, _Le Sérapéum de Memphis_. Folio, 1857. [Illustration: FIG. 311.--Pectoral. Actual size. Drawn by Saint-Elme Gautier.] In the same case as this pectoral there are two golden hawks incrusted in the same fashion, which may have belonged to a similar jewel. The larger of the two (Fig. 312) has a ram's head.[389] There is a necklace about its throat, and in its talons it grasps a pair of seals, the symbols of reproduction and eternity. The same emblem is held by the smaller hawk (Fig. 313), whose wings form a large crescent.[390] [389] PIERRET, _Catalogue de la Salle Historique_, Louvre, No. 535. [390] _Ibid._ No. 534.

Drawn by Saint-Elme Gautier.] Living forms are interpreted in a less conventional fashion in the little monuments which are known as _ægides_, on account of their shape. This may be seen by reference to one recently acquired by the Louvre (Fig. 314). The name of an Osorkhon of the twenty-second dynasty and that of Queen Ta-ti-bast are on the back. At the top appears the lion-head of the goddess Sekhet, modelled with great skill and freedom, and supported on each side by the head of a hawk; below these comes a plate of gold, entirely covered with fine engraving. A seated figure with expanded wings forms a centre for numerous bands of ornament in which the open flower of the lotus is combined with its buds and circular leaves. Necklaces are also very rich and various in design. Fig. 315 is the restoration of one which exists in a dislocated state in one of the cases of the Louvre. It is formed of glass beads in four rows, below which hangs a row of pendants, probably charms. The _tet_, the god _Bes_, the _oudja_ or symbolic eye, &c., are to be distinguished among them. [Illustration: FIG. 314.--Ægis. Louvre. Actual size. Drawn by Saint-Elme Gautier.] The beautiful group of Osiris, Isis, and Horus deserves to rank as a work of sculpture (Fig. 316). These little figures are of gold. Osiris is crouching between the other two deities on a pedestal of lapis-lazuli, which bears the name of Osorkhon II. The inscription upon the base consists of a religious benediction upon the same Pharaoh. These little figures are finely executed, and the base upon which the group stands is incrusted with coloured glass.
