Fragmentary Seal Impression from Tutankhamun's Embalming Cache

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 122

This mud sealing has the impression of a seal with the name of Tutankhamun and the epithet "beloved of Ptah." It was found in a cache of large jars that contained unused embalming materials as well as floral collars and broken dishes that may have been used for the celebration of the king's funeral.
