Summary
| Description |
English: This rare 12th dynasty Egyptian Middle Kingdom (2040-1782 BCE) pectoral made of gold and semi-precious stones (carnelian, turquoise, and lapis lazuli) belonged to Mereret, the daughter of king Senusret III and sister of king Amenemhat III.[1] The pectoral shows the cartouche or royal name of pharaoh Amenemhat III and depicts this king triumphantly defeating his enemies. It was discovered in the Dahshur tomb of Mereret which is located within the pyramid complex of Senusret III's own tomb. This photo was taken at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) in Cairo, Egypt, in 2019. |
