Middle Kingdom In 1919, the Museum's Egyptian Expedition found a large deposit of coffins and objects in a fill below the causeway of Thutmose III in the central part of the Asasif Valley, in an area known as "East of Pabasa." The coffin of Nefnefret is one of the more than fifty coffins that were part of this deposit, which seems to have been made up of the contents of tombs that were destroyed by the cutting of the Dynasty 18 causeway to the royal memorial temples at Deir el-Bahri and represents a significant number of burials of the late Middle Kingdom and Second Intermediate Period in Thebes.The Museum has four black-painted coffins from this find including the coffin of Nefnefret, all on display in gallery 109. These include the coffin of a wab-priest named Entemaemsaf (32.3.428a, b); the coffin of a wab-priest named Ikhet (32.3.430a, b); and the coffin of an un-named owner (32.3.431a, b)..

Five Bells on black backgroundInlay, feather pattern 200 BC-100 AD Ptolemaic Period-Roman Period A mosaic glass technique allowed multiples of an image to be created: a figural or design composition was made by bundling colored glass canes, which were then drawn out into a long bar. The bar was then sectioned at right angles, probably by striking the bar with appropriate tools, to produce small inlay tiles. The tile would then be smoothed and polished on the face intended to appear outwards.. Inlay, feather pattern. 200 BC-100 AD. Glass. Ptolemaic Period-Roman Period.

Photographs Relating to National Forests, Resource Management Practices, Personnel, and Cultural and Economic HistoryString of beads. Dimensions: L. 44 cm (17 5/16 in.). Date: ca. 3900-3650 B.C..Even in the earliest graves, everyone was buried wearing their favorite ornaments. Jewelry was simple: necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. Amulets, semi-diadems (forehead ornaments), and belts occasionally occur. Jewelry often provided protection through its shape, material, and color; some pieces conferred status through type or material. This necklace, of clay and carnelian beads, was found with the burial of a child, along with a number of other luxury and prestige items (see 09.182.1-.8). Clearly the child was born into a wealthy and powerful family, and acquired his or her status through birth.
