, with
wadjet The many
determinatives for
pectoral are not portrayed in the
Gardiner's Sign List. However, one of the
10 words for 'pectoral', or 'collar' uses the
Usekh collar determinative, S11, the
"collar necklace" S11. However a similar hieroglyph for the verb "to collar", "to net" shows the relationship between the two Gardiner-listed hieroglyphs T24. The basic definition of a brooch is as a wide piece of jewellery. Therefore, one form of the 'pectoral' word listings uses the word for "breadth, broad", "to be wide or spacious", the
Egyptian word
usekh. (Cf.
Usekh collar.)
Pectoral determinatives Though Gardiner lists only the "broad collar", S11, the following listing of words for
"pectoral" shows the other types of
pectoral jewellery forms that have a Gardiner-unlisted type of pectoral hieroglyph sign: The list of
Gardiner-unlisted determinatives for
pectoral: :ari aui-(
none) (bracelets, armlets) :
usekh-(Gard-unl. 1 to 7) (8 is the S11 collar) :utcha-(Gard-unl. 9 to 12) (12 has beads) :babaa-{Gard-unl. 13) ('necklace of beads', pectoral) :beb-{Gard-unl. 13) (a metal pectoral or breastplate, collar) (uraeus headdress (?)) :menqebit-(
none) (collar or pectoral to which the serpent amulet was attached) :hebner-{Gard-unl. 2 (similar to collar S11)) (collar, pectoral, neckband) :heter-t-(
none) (a pectoral, a pectoral amulet) :hkakerit-(Gard. Aa30-used horizontally)Aa30(ornaments, collar, pectoral, head-attire) :sheb-{Gard-unl. 15) (collar, necklace, pectoral) 'None' may have an alternate determinative used to define the word. From the above definitions, it can be seen that the
collar, neckband, pectoral, beads, etc., can also include
amulets inclusive into the pectoral's
iconography. The above listed words are refenced in
E. A. Wallis Budge's "dictionary" to 200 works: steles, papyri, Egyptian literature, personal literature, etc., or the approximate 120 authors referenced. ==Statuary with pectorals==
