Signet Ring with Tutankhamun's Throne Name
New Kingdom
This horizontal signet ring shows signs of wear from frequent use as a seal. It is inscribed down the center with Tutankhamun's prenomen, Neb-kheperu-re; on either side the king is referred to as "beloved of Amun, lord of eternity." The sun disk in the word for "eternity" appears with the pendant sign for "life," which was a common writing of the sign during Akhenaten's reign.
