Summary
| Description | This extremely rare 12th Dynasty Egyptian Middle Kingdom pectoral dates to the 19th century BCE and was made of gold and semi-precious stones (carnelian, turquoise, amethyst and lapis lazuli).

This fine pectoral, which was found in the Dahshur tomb of Mereret, bears the cartouche or royal name of Senusret III: Khakaure meaning the Kas of Ra have appeared. see Senusret III html |
