Geography:From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Valley of the Kings, Embalming Cache of Tutankhamun (KV 54), Davis/Ayrton excavations, 1907–08 Medium:Linen, decomposed wood material (sawdust) Dimensions:folded into two parallel rolls: 39.7 cm long and 8.7 cm wide, 3.7 cm high as one long tube: ca. 75 cm long and 4.5 cm wide, 3.7 cm high Credit Line:Gift of Joseph Veach Noble, 1988 Accession Number:1988.437.1 On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 122 In December 1907 Theodore M. Davis, a wealthy American who was funding excavations in the Valley of the Kings, discovered a small pit near the tomb of Seti I. Inside the pit were approximately a dozen large sealed whitewashed storage jars (09.184.1). Among other things, the jars contained bags of natron (a kind of salt), pieces of linen with hieratic inscriptions dated to Years 6 and 8 of a king named Tutankhamun (throne name Nebkheperure). At the time, almost nothing was know about Tutankhamun, and Davis declared that he had discovered the king's tomb. Davis received a number of the jars and their contents in the division of finds and, in 1909, he gave most of his share to the Metropolitan Museum. It was only later that Herbert Winlock, the field director of the Museum's excavations at Thebes, realized that the natron and linen were embalming refuse from the mummification of Tutankhamun. Natron, a naturally occurring salt found in the Wadi el-Natrun which is located in the desert west of the Nile Delta. It was used as a dessicant in the mummification process. Tubular bags (1988.437.1) and small sacks (1988.437.2) of unused natron were found in the storage jars from Tutankhamun's embalming cache.

Diam. of mouth 12 cm (4 3/4 in.) Credit Line:Gift of Theodore M. Davis, 1909 Accession Number:09.184.83 This slender, elegant bottle, with its flaring rim in the form of an open papyrus umbel, was among the cache of objects discovered in a pit (KV 54) in the valley of the Kings in 1907. The objects are associated with the funeral of Tutankhamun, whose tomb was discovered some fifteen years later about 100 meters away. The decoration around the neck imitates floral collars made of leaves, petals, flower buds, and berries that were worn by banquet guests and draped around vessels used at banquets. Several such collars were also found in the cache (see 09.184.214). This bottle may have been used in the purification ritual at Tutankhamun's burial or to serve a spiced beverage at his funeral banquet. Other objects from Tutankhamun's funeral cache are displayed in gallery 122.

Davis, a wealthy American who was funding excavations in the Valley of the Kings, discovered a small pit near the tomb of Seti I. Inside the pit were approximately a dozen large sealed whitewashed storage jars (09.184.1). Among other things, the jars contained bags of natron (a kind of salt), pieces of linen with hieratic inscriptions dated to Years 6 and 8 of a king named Tutankhamun (throne name Nebkheperure). At the time, almost nothing was know about Tutankhamun, and Davis declared that he had discovered the king's tomb. Davis received a number of the jars and their contents in the division of finds and, in 1909, he gave most of his share to the Metropolitan Museum. It was only later that Herbert Winlock, the field director of the Museum's excavations at Thebes, realized that the natron and linen were embalming refuse from the mummification of Tutankhamun. Natron, a naturally occurring salt found in the Wadi el-Natrun which is located in the desert west of the Nile Delta. It was used as a dessicant in the mummification process. Tubular bags (1988.437.1) and small sacks (1988.437.2) of unused natron were found in the storage jars from Tutankhamun's embalming cache.

Whether it was worn by Tutankhamun or not, examples of dyed linen from ancient Egyptian times are extremely rare, making this a very precious object.

Davis, 1909 Accession Number:09.184.216 This remarkably preserved floral collar, from the embalming cache of Tutankhamun, illustrates how the broad collars so frequently depicted in Egyptian tomb paintings were made. Alternating rows of flower petals and blossoms, leaves, berries, and blue faience beads were sewn to a papyrus backing, and linen ties secured the collar around the wearer's neck. Some of the flora used in the Tutankhamun collars (09.184.214) have been identified as olive leaves, cornflowers, and poppies. Several collars in the cache were bound around the edge with red cloth (09.184.215), and the resulting combination of red, blue, black, and green must have been very colorful and similar to the polychrome decoration on some of the terracotta vessels in the same deposit (09.184.90).
