EGYPTIAN GOLD TILAPIA FISH PENDANT New Kingdom, ca. 1550-1069 BC.

A golden amulet in the shape of a tilapia fish. A cast gold amuletic bead with a suspension hole through the centre. The fish has been crafted with careful attention to detail, boasting a tiny front fin, and with all fins intricately incised to depict their texture. Further diligence has been devoted to the face of the fish, and both sides are decorated in the same manner.

Gold Scarab Ring

New Kingdom, 18th to 20th Dynasty, ca. 1550-1069 BC. Bequest of Eva Catherine Brown. Now in the Cleveland Museum of Art. 1936.653

Ancient Egyptian turquoise faience scarab (mounted on swivel bezel in modern gold ring). From the end of the third millennium B.C., the scarab beetle served as an amulet in Egypt where it represented the sun god.

The scarab integrated into a gold ring appears in the fourth century B.C. The articulation of the insect and the embellishment of the box reveal craftsmanship of the highest order.

Scarab rings with thicker hoops developed during the Second Intermediate Period. The scarab itself was mounted with a gold wire running through its centre on which it could swivel. As well as gold, silver and electrum were used. They were popular during the New Kingdom period and were worn by both men and women.

The Funerary Mask of the Overseeer of Builders Amenhotep

Dynasty: 18th Dynasty

Period: New Kingdom

Date: ca. 1427-1390 B.C.

The Funerary Mask of Amenhotep, The Overseer of the Builders of Amun is a perfect example of the craftsmanship that went into preparing for the afterlife. This Cartonnage mask made of linen, resin, and painted papyrus reflects the many materials used to make Cartonnage masks during the New Kingdom ( ca. 1550-1069 BC). The face gilded with gold and eyes made of alabaster and obsidian is a great reflection that this was someone of high importance and status. In Egyptian society only the elites and people of high rank could afford such luxuries for their own funerary preparations. We know through research and records that the mask originated from a Theban necropolis and is to be dated to around the middle to late years of the Thutmoside period and was acquired by Egyptologist Theodore M. Davis around the late 1880′s.
