The so-called ‘Dendera Treasure Hoards’ were caches of spectacular objects of great art-historical value that were discovered in the area between the Dendera temple and its enclosure wall. Some objects, like this Ptolemaic golden necklace, were part of a hoard confiscated in 1914 at Dendera. The necklace is made of a gold wire closed with two hooks. Hanging from this wire are ten symbolic figures (from the left): Taweret (hippopotamus goddess of childbirth), goddess Isis seated, two falcons wearing the double crown, two human-headed birds wearing the solar disc between two horns, two more falcons wearing the double crown, a wedjat eye and a standing figure of god Nefertum.
