Bead Bracelet of Queen Ahhotep

This bracelet of Queen Ahhotep, which is one of a pair, was found along with other jewels inside her sarcophagus. 

It was given to her as a present by her son, King Ahmose I, whose name was mentioned on the golden clasp. His name is encrusted in gold on a blue background.

The bracelet is composed of 30 rows of gold beads and semiprecious stones (lapis lazuli, turquoise and carnelian), alternating with each other in a special design to form triangles and squares. The clasp is made out of two gold sheets that slide within each other to close the bracelet tight.

From Dra’ Abu el-Naga’, West Thebes. Third Intermediate Period, 17th Dynasty, ca. 1560-1530 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 4685
