Princess Khenmet necklace

The necklace of Khenmet is surmounted by a strand of gold beads of increasing diameter towards the centre, consisting of six rows of gold beads. Four rows are formed by the succession of the hieroglyphs ankh, was, djed, symbolising life, power, stability respectively. At the ends of the necklace are attached two exquisite gold falcon heads.

This particular necklace was likely made to be worn by Khenmet in her lifetime, or it could have been intended as part of her burial goods to accompany her in the afterlife. Jewelry like this would have been a symbol of wealth, status, and divine favor, common to royal individuals.

Middle Kingdom, 12th Dynasty, ca. 1932-1898 BC. Discovered in April 1894 by Jacques de Morgan. From the Tomb of Khenmet, Funerary Complex of Amenemhat II at Dahshur. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 30942

Copper Amun-Ra in a Portable Naos, c. 800–600 B.C.

▫ This intricately worked amulet takes the form of a miniature naos (a sacred shrine) designed to be worn, revered, and pressed into service as a seal. Within sits a removable figure of Amun-Ra, enthroned and crowned with tall double plumes, once holding a now-lost emblem of power.

Hieroglyphs identify the shrine as a royal donation to Amun-Ra by King Thutemhat, while the base bears the phrase Domain of Amun (“pr Imn”) allowing the object to double as a stamp-seal.

Now at the British Museum. EA11015
