Collar pendant surrounded by a golden net

This collar pendant might be of meteoritic origin as a very close parallel of Predynastic date1
Approximate H 2.0-2.5
The golden net is of the New Kingdom Dynasty 18
The dots of the net are interpreted as a myriad of stars feared by the deceased so that the pendant becomes a protective amulet1
