| Description |
English: Jewels of five princesses of the XIIth Dynasty (c. 2400 B.C.), the result of the excavations of J. de Morgan at Dāhshur in 1894-1895: Two gold crowns (figs. 32, 34), found together, are curiously contrasted in character. The one (fig. 32) is of a formal design, of gold, inlaid (the plume, fig 33, was attached to it); the other (fig. 34) has a multitude of star-like flowers, embodied in a filigree of daintily twisted wires. |
