Usekh collar

), Egyptian artisans fashioned images of deities, kings, and mortals wearing broad collars made of molded tubular and teardrop beads.

[1] The Usekh or Wesekh is a personal ornament, a type of broad collar or necklace, familiar to many because of its presence in images of the ancient Egyptian elite.

It is typically adorned with closely placed rows of colored stone beads, or it is made entirely of metal.

These could be attributed to shifting mythological perspectives, or perhaps due to geographical movement across Egypt.

[citation needed] A scene in the Fourth Dynasty tomb of Wepemnofret at Giza connects the usekh collar with dwarves and the deity Ptah.
