Description
This wonderful golden shell was found among other objects in the funerary complex of Sekhemkhet, successor of Djoser of the Third Dynasty. It is a small container that was reproduced in the form of a seashell. It swings open on a tiny hinge and clasps shut by means of two small exterior hooks. It may have also been used to hang the shell from a chain as a pendant. Its function may have been as a receptacle for cosmetics and pigments.

Cette merveilleuse coquille dorée fut retrouvée parmi d'autres objets dans le complexe funéraire de Sekhemkhet, le successeur de Djéser de la troisième dynastie. Il s'agit d'un petit récipient qui reproduit la forme d'un coquillage. Il s'ouvre par un mouvement de la minuscule charnière et se referme grâce à deux petits crochets externes, qui auraient également servi à accrocher la coquille sur une chaîne comme pendentif. Cette coquille aurait servi de récipient aux cosmétiques et aux pigments.
عثر على هذه المحارة الذهبية الرائعة، بين غيرها من الآثار، في المجموعة الجنائزية الخاصة بسخم خت، خليفة زوسر من الأسرة الثالثة. وهي عبارة عن إناء صغير، صنع بدقة كهيئة محارة بحرية، وتنفتح بمفصل صغير، وتغلق بمشبكين خارجيين، قد يمكنان من تعليق المحارة بسلسلة، وتلبس كدلاية. ولعل وظيفتها الأساسية كانت حاوية لمواد الزينة والأصباغ.
