    "description": "This steatite pendant is suspended by a perforated tang. Stone inlays are set in black paste. On the front is a beetle with outstretched legs in high relief. On the flat reverse tiny inlays filled the recessed figures. Shown within a square frame is a male figure in the elaborate dress of the Ramesid period adoring Osiris. The hieroglyphs at top identify the figures as \"Osiris\" and \"The Osirian Mose.\"",
