From NMNH Exhibit Hall "Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt" label for this artifact, 2011: Amulets were tucked into the mummy's wraps—they are believed to ward off evil and bring good luck. Each type was positioned according to instructions in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Meretseger amulet; offered the sun god's protection.

content: The 1923 excavated objects were not always cataloged by provenience, but by material type. The two shell disks are in the same catalog number. The Grave 3, Leavenworth notes list the presence of a shell disk with one perforation, and that would indicate A325539-0 aka A325539 RO1. For Nordvold 2/3, Burial 19, there are two sets of notes. One lists “a large perforated disc” and “a large shell disc perforated in the center.” This then should be the disk with two perforations in A325539-1, aka A325539 RO2, because of the specificity of the Leavenworth disk having one perforation, which must be A325539-0, aka A325539 RO1.
