English: Necklace made of 54 composite human head and ram’s head gold pendants with a small carnelian bead between each. Meroitic Period
From Meroe. Excavated by the Harvard University–Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition; assigned to the MFA in the division of finds by the government of Sudan.
The exhibition is a collaboration of the Drents Museum in Assen, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Between 1907 and 1928 researchers from the museum in Boston were involved in the excavations of the finds in Nubia, which is why the American museum now has the most diverse Nubian collection in the world.
