The magnificent jewellery of Queen Ahhotep (c1560BC-1530BC), Cairo Museum, Egypt, 1905. These luxurious adornments were found with the body of Queen Ahhotep at Thebes in 1860. In the middle is a golden boat resting upon a wooden carriage with wheels of bronze. Within it are a crew of silver, while the figure of the king in the middle, the captain and steersman are of gold. Here in this corner is a flexible golden chain, 36 inches long, of the finest workmanship. At each end of it is the head of a goose in gold, while pendant in the middle is a golden scarabaeus, inlaid with lapis lazuli. The large breast ornament at this end of the case is entirely of gold; at either end is a hawks head, and the pendant bands hanging in curves from these are made up of rosettes, flowers, blossoms and heads of animals. The rectangular object propped up on a slanting card before the wheels of the boat, is a superb breast ornament or pectoral, with a gold frame and inlay of brilliantly coloured costly gems.
