Amulet of Horus as a falcon wearing the Pschent or Double Crown of Egypt.

The Middle Kingdom in Egypt is generally regarded as the zenith of Egyptian jewelry making. The jewelers of the royal court produced items of exquisite simplicity and elegant design from rare and exotic materials. Many motifs that had heretofore been reserved exclusively for the king’s regalia were adopted by the upper classes. An iconic example is this amulet of the falcon god, Horus.

Late Middle Kingdom to Second Intermediate Period, 12th Dynasty to late 17th Dynasty, ca. 1850-1550 BC. Metropolitan Museum of Art. 13.180.2
