nb3w（nekhau） 吊坠采用 鱼，系在一位年轻女孩的辫子上，作为防止溺水的护身符。它以火红的红玉髓为原型，代表着巴滕索达鱼（Synodontus batensoda）——一种倒立游动并捕捉掉落在水面上的虫子的鲶鱼。
最早提及它的地方是《韦斯特卡纸莎草书》，这是一部可追溯到中王国时期的文学文本，书中记载，斯尼夫鲁国王感到无聊和沮丧，他的大祭司建议他与后宫中最美丽的女人一起乘船游览。他们都在湖上划船，斯尼夫鲁正玩得开心，这时，其中一名妇女的头发上掉了一颗绿色的鱼形宝石，她停下了划船。她拒绝了斯尼夫鲁提出的更换宝石的建议，于是他叫来也在船上的大祭司做点什么。祭司分开湖水，取回宝石，然后再次合上水。斯尼夫鲁很高兴，女人们继续划船，祭司也得到了奖励。
