Two sets of armorappear in a presentation scene in the tomb of Kenamun at Thebes, and a cuirassof leather scales was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. The ten scales (11.215.452a-j) were excavated from the palace of Amenhotep III, but their position, embedded in an enclosure wall, does not allow us to speculate as to who might have worn them. The scales would have been sewn to a linen or leather backing. Although they vary, they still might have constituted the same armor.. Scale from Armor. ca. 1390-1353 B.C.. Bronze. New Kingdom.

A low curvature of the glass fragment allows the assignment to a vessel, possibly a shell. The surface of the violet shard is strongly corroded. Several blossoms are recognizable in millefiori technology with a yellow center and a red circle. For the production, different colored glasses were molded into tubes and rods. These were compressed and heated, causing a long bar. The glass sliced now had different amorphous or floral patterns. Thereafter, several of these platelets were folded together, heated again and pressed into the vascular shape. Burry for the elaborate manufacturing process and its fragility was one of the luxury articles of antiquity.Fragments Cluster sprayer from the wreck of the East Indians Hollandia, Anonymous, 1700 - in or before 1743 Tools and instruments, medical, enema syringe; fragm of needles, corroded: threaded ends id.
