Glass Bracelet of Maiherpri

EM-S4-4331_800x800.jpg

A fine bracelet of Maiherpri, the Fan bearer to the right of the king during the Eighteenth Dynasty. It has an elaborate form; it is composed of small glass cylinders held together in a wooden circle. The cylinders are made alternatively of red and green glass, separated by small thin rings of natural ivory. The circle is not complete, presumably to ease wearing it in the arm of the owner.
