Nebu
The Egyptian hieroglyph representing gold (ð“‹ž Gardiner S12), phonetic value nb, is important due to its use in the Horus-of-Gold name, one of the Fivefold Titulary names of the Egyptian pharaoh.
In its determinative usage, it identifies any precious metal,
and as an ideogram in "gold" specifically (Egyptian nbw, whence Coptic ⲛⲟⲩⲃ nūb).
The hieroglyph represents a large gold necklace whose ends drape off either side and seven pearl pendants dangling from the middle. Old Kingdom scenes show dwarfs metalworking the gold, and "stringing the pearls of gold".
