Diamond motif was often used on the belts of Egyptian royal statuary, but their meaning and role have never been discussed in depth. This paper shows how this motif, originally used on Palace Façade, came to represent the king himself, how it is related to the goddess Nut, and how it is associated with rebirth and resurrection
