Nearly 3,900 years old—and still dazzling.This necklace and pectoral belonged to Princess Sithathoryunet and were found in her tomb at Lahun. Made of gold and brightly colored semiprecious stones, the pendant is built around the royal name of Senwosret II.More than adornment, it was a symbolic composition of protection, kingship, and eternity.

ca. 1887–1878 BCE • Middle Kingdom Egypt • The Met
