Notes:

Essay on the god Khepri in Egyptian art and religion. In the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes was found the exceptional Rebus Pectoral. The intricate detail and fine craftsmanship in cloisonné-work portrays a high standard of the goldsmith's trade. This pectoral is rich in symbolism and all the themes illustrating the eternal cycle are represented here.

Text in Afrikaans; English summary page 166.
