This chapter presents the technological study of the jewellery excavated at Qurna, together with a few additional examples of gold pieces that are either well contextualized, or that can be attributed to the Second Intermediate Period and early 18th Dynasty based on their inscriptions. These parallels include objects that are in some way related to king Nubkheperra Intef, notably the first heart-scarab recorded for a king, several pieces bearing the name of Ahhotep, the three gold components of an armband found in the burial of king Kamose, and several pieces from excavations at Qau by G. Brunton.

Abstract

This chapter presents the technological study of the jewellery excavated at Qurna, together with a few additional examples of gold pieces that are either well contextualized, or that can be attributed to the Second Intermediate Period and early 18th Dynasty based on their inscriptions. These parallels include objects that are in some way related to king Nubkheperra Intef, notably the first heart-scarab recorded for a king, several pieces bearing the name of Ahhotep, the three gold components of an armband found in the burial of king Kamose, and several pieces from excavations at Qau by G. Brunton.
