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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph showcases the breathtaking jewellery collection of Queen Ahhotep, a powerful queen from ancient Egypt. Discovered in 1860 within her burial site at Thebes, these opulent adornments are now on display at the prestigious Cairo Museum. At the center of the image is a remarkable golden boat resting on a wooden carriage with bronze wheels. Its crew members are crafted in silver, while the figure of King Ahhotep himself stands proudly as captain and steersman in pure gold. In one corner lies an exquisite flexible golden chain measuring 36 inches long, adorned with intricately designed goose heads made of gold and featuring a pendant scarabaeus embellished with lapis lazuli. The large breast ornament showcased at one end is entirely made of gold and features hawk heads on either side. Hanging from it are bands adorned with rosettes, flowers, blossoms, and animal heads arranged in elegant curves. Displayed prominently before the boat's wheels is an exceptional pectoral or breast ornament encased within a slanted card frame.
