Two bracelets of Psusennes IThese two bracelets are each decorated with a winged scarab as their major feature. The scarab holds the sun-disc in its front legs, and the shen-sign of infinity with its rear legs. The cartouches of Psusennes I can also be seen, each surmounted by a sun-disc. The cartouches and scarabs are separated by ovals decorated with different colored semi-precious stones, meant to represent the wings of the scarabs.Third Intermediate Period, 21st Dynasty, reign of Psusennes I, ca. 1047-1001 BC.
