Decorated, Egyption Jewel Chest
Tutankhamun's family ties are explored in this exhibition. This elaborate chest is from the tomb of Yuya and Tjuya, possibly his great grandparents.
Ancient Egyptian Jewel Chest from the Tomb of Tutankhamun's possible great grandparents, Yuya and Tjuya, is made of wood, decorated with gilding, ivory, faience and ebony. The colors are so fresh it looks like it was made yesterday.
