Among their many components is an Egyptianized atef crown-a tall headdress typically worn by the god Osiris-made of a sun disk in a translucent stone surmounted by twin feathers of opaque black-and-white glass; and a heart-shaped pendant with a red stone, bordered by a black-and-white sawtooth design.

The spectacular image on these artful holiday cards comes from a private devotional book at The Met Cloisters.
