New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 122

This mud sealing is still attached to a piece of the papyrus tie that was used to secure a container. The impression preserves the throne name of Tutankhamun, Nebkheperure (Neb-kheperu-Re), and the epithets "beloved of Khnum" and "manifold of praises."
