Ring of Hatnefer

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 116

This ring was found on the middle finger of Hatnefer's left hand. It has been set with an amulet shaped like a cowrie shell and inscribed on the base with a geometric pattern vaguely resembling a lizard. The rings and small scarabs found on Hatnefer's mummy were personal jewelry, not part of her funerary equipment.
