Summary
| Description |
This falcon headed necklace was found in the intact tomb of Princess Khenmet of the 12th dynasty of Egypt at Dahshur which dates to the 19th century BCE. Her tomb was located next to the pyramid of king Amenemhat II. The body of Khenmet was adorned with an array of jewellery including a broad collar, armlets, and anklets. Next to the body were found many weapons, typical for royal burials of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt.[1] In the small chamber next to the sarcophagus were found further personal adornments. These included two crowns and parts of a necklace made in gold. The latter is most likely not an Egyptian work of art, but was perhaps produced in Crete. |
