FootnotesSeveral faience collars found in the tomb of Tutankhamun use amuletic forms, the hes-vase, nefer-sign, and cartouche pendants as part of primarily plant-form collars. Depictions of collars on the sarcophagi and gold mask from the tomb of Tuiya and Yuia also show nefer-signs and palmettes used alongside the more common plant designs.
