Nebket hovers over the king, protecting him in Battle.
Nebket was the vulture goddess who, along with the cobra goddess Wadjet, protected the Pharaoh.
The Vulture goddess Nebket was worship in cult ritual at El Kab in Upper Egypt.
The Cobra, Wadjet, and the Vulture, Nebket, were incorporated into the crowns of the king as protective talismen. Tutankhamun's jewelery has many beautiful examples of this symbolism of Nebket and Wadjet..
The Cobra symbolized Upper Egypt and the Vulture symbolized Lower Egypt.
One of the five names of the Pharaoh was associated with the Nebket and Wadjet, the "Two Ladies" Name
