Abstract

The Nubian necklace with ram's head pendants was one of the most important royal emblems, worn by kings from the XXV dynasty to the Meroitic period. In this paper the Author shows that such a necklace was delivered by Amun of Pnubs to king, during the coronation ritual, as mentioned in the stela of Nastasen, under the name of ḫrỉw. The necklace was considered extremely significant for the Nubian reign, because it represented the connection of the Nubian kingship with the Amun cults.
