Geschiedenis van het voorwerp

The amulets were removed from the body of a mummy which was in such poor condition that it was considered unsuitable for exhibition. The amulets were revealed during radiographic examination and removed in 1967, other parts of the body were used for research purposes. Thirty of the amulets were found in the thoracic region and two in the abdominal area.

See Object's History.

Material: 
Azurite is a deep blue basic carbonate that occurs in copper deposits, found in the Sinai and the Eastern Desert. It is an oxidised product derived from the decomposition of copper sulphide and always occurs on or near the surface, hence it is easily found and worked.
