Description
In life, Egyptian jewellery was a colourful accessory to relatively plain clothing. It could denote rank or honours and it might offer amuletic protection. After death it was buried in the tombs of both rich and poor for the owner's use in the Afterlife, along with other pieces made specially for the funeral.
