KV 56 Pair of Ear-Studs, in Electrum and Various Stones
Description
An account of the resource
The ring which passed through the ear is hollow, and measures 0 m .014 in diameter.
It is a torus, of the extreme breadth of 0 m 048, penannular with an opening 5 millimetres in length to admit the lobe of the ear. The periphery is ornamented with a small twist. 2 millimetres in breadth, also in electrum or a mixture of gold and silver. The opening was behind the ear ; on the lower part of the ring six little rings are to bee seen, indicating that originally there were pendants attached,
the length of which we do not know. We can only suggest hypothetically that various beads, in carnelian, lapis, and gold, found during the clearing out of the tomb, may have belonged to them. Some models of flowers, open or closed, probably formed the termination of these pendants ; the first of these, 0 m 016 in height, is composed of a campanulate flower 0 m .014 in diameter, in blue glazed pottery, finely incised on the outside, and mounted on a
three-pointed calyx in electrum ; the second, 0 m .012 in height, consists of a pyriform carnelian bead which represents the undeveloped bud, enclosed in a calyx similar to those of the full-blown flowers.
Rings : Plate—Ornaments of Queen Tauosrit. Flowers: Plate—Pendants and Carnelian Amulets.

KV56 Pair of Gold Ear-Pendants
Description
An account of the resource
Composed of two principal parts. The upper part is in two pieces, each formed of a disc, with a tube fixed to the centre of the under side. The two tubes are striated and fit into each other, maintaining an interval of 31 millimetres between the two discs. One of the rounded ends, which must have decorated the outside of the ear, is similar to the rosettes on the crown. The flower, which forms a hollow, has eight petals slightly concave with rounded tips ; the diameter is 45 millimetres : four of the petals disposed crossways bear the nomen or prenomen of Setui II. The knob fixed below is 8 millimetres in diameter. The other disc, which was placed behind the lobe of the ear, is, on the contrary, convex ; the diameter is 45 millimetres. The disc is strengthened by a
double border of tubes, 1 millimetre in diameter; that on the outside is plain, the inner one is striated. The centre of the boss is ornamented with a flattish knob, surrounded by three gold threads, the middle one of which is grooved and has the appearance of a milled edge. Between the knob and the edge the two cartouches of Setui II are engraved, somewhat roughly.
The lower part of the pendant is composed of a double plaque in the form of a trapezium, 0m .032 in height, 0m .023 broad at the top,
and 0 m .032 at the lower end. At the top of this are two striated rings through which are passed the transverse tubes attached to the
discs. The top of the plaque is cut away to a depth of 0m .01, and the same in breadth, to allow room for the lower tip of the ear. On
each side the two cartouches of Setui II are engraved, below this plaque a horizontal bar is fixed to support seven pendants, three large
and four small, differing only in size, which is respectively 0 m .073 and 0 m .014. They are in the form of pomegranates : the stem is
a small striated tube ; the fruit— a hollow ribbed ball—has beneath it a tiny wide crown. The larger balls are 0 m .024 wide, the smaller ones 0 m .014. These ornaments, of which the total length is 0 m .135, notwithstanding their weight (the two together weigh 1.55 gr. 15), were undoubtedly hung from the ear, held in position by the two discs, while the plaque and its pendants hung down the side of the
face. We need not marvel at the thickness of the transverse tubes ; the mummy of Ma-her-pra has the lobes of the ears pierced with holes
15 millimetres in diameter, and there are others far larger.
Plate—Ceremonial Wig Ornaments (black and colours).

Gold Crown of Queen Tausret from KV 56
Description
An account of the resource
weighing 92 grammes, formed of a narrow band. 4 millimetres in breadth, and 0 m 175 in diameter. The circle is pierced at irregular intervals, varying from 25 to 43 millimetres, with sixteen holes, employed for attaching ornaments in the form of flowers, of which fourteen have been found. The flowers are made in two pieces. The corolla, which measures 3 centimetres in diameter, and is slightly concave, is composed of ten petals, hollow in the centre
and soldered at the edges, with rounded tips ; it is stamped out of gold foil. Four of the petals bear the royal cartouches; two of them, separated by another, which is uninscribed, present the nomen and the prenomen of Setui II.
The petals opposite these have the name of Queen Tauosrit
facing the opposite way.
Behind the corolla is a round-headed knob, 21 millimetres in
diameter, which represents the mass of pistils. To this is attached a ring intended to hold the metal wire that fastened the rosette to the crown; as this ring is larger than the hole, it cannot have fitted into it, and the flowers, therefore, must have been movable when attached to the crown.
Plate—Gold Diadem of Queen Tauosrit. Flowers as found : Coloured Plate - Rings and Ornaments, Gold Bracelets and Ornaments.

Cairo Museum 52261 - Ring from KV56
Description
An account of the resource
52261. Bague. — Or et pierres cloisonnées. — Diamètre extérieur, sans les cloisons 0 m. 020 mill., diamètre intérieur 0 m. 017 mill. 1/2, hauteur, côté du faucon 0 m. 018 mill., côté du cartouche 0 m. 019 mill.; poids 9 grammes. — Trouvée à Biban el-Molouk, dans une cachette contenant des objets aux noms de Séti II et de Ta-usert (fouilles Davis, 1908) (pl. XXVI).
Une bague composée d'une feuille d'or roulée et soudée, a reçu une décoration faite à l'aide de pierres (ou de verres) cloisonnées.
Un faucon, coiffé du disque solaire entouré de deux uraeus, étend ses ailes qui vont rejoindre, de l'autre côté de la bague, un cartouche au nom de Séti II; il tient dans ses serres, de chaque côté, un flabellum.
La bague est bordée, en haut et en bas, d'un demi-jonc associé à un rang de perles.
La substance qui garnit les cloisons est entièrement décomposée et, par suite, difficile à définir. De petites fractions ont l'aspect de verre imitant la turquoise, mais la plus grande partie est devenue d'une couleur grise générale qui ne permet pas de reconnaître
sa qualité originelle.
Le revers, c'est-à-dire l'intérieur de la bague, est décoré au tracé. Le travail a été fait avant que le bijou ne fût construit et quand la bande de métal était encore à plat; le dessin répète la face, sauf pour le cartouche.
Le cartouche extérieur est composé d'une plaque mince rapportée. On y voit :
prénom de Séti II.
Le cartouche intérieur porte :
nom de Séti II.
XIXe dynastie.

The cornflower and ball beads in this necklace were made by soldering wire rings of several different diameters into the desired forms. The piece is an early example of the technique known as filagree. Discovered with a cache of jewelry in the Valley of the Kings, the necklace is thought to have belonged to Tawosret, wife of the Seti II and regent for her husband's successor Siptah. Tawosret, who reigned Egypt in her own right for several years at the end of Dynasty 19, was one of the few female rulers of Egypt, the most famous of whom are Hatshepsut and Cleopatra VII.
Provenance
Excavated by Theodore M. Davis and Edward R. Ayrton, Jan. 1908. Allotted to Davis by the Egyptian Government in the division of finds. Davis Collection 1908-1915; on loan to the museum from 1913.. Bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Davis, 1915. Two cornflower beads (26.7.1346, .1348) purchased in Luxor by Lord Carnarvon before 1923. Carnarvon Collection until 1926.
