Gold, carnelian, lapis lazuli
and turquoise collar of Khnumet,
daughter of
Amenemhat II and wife of
Senusret II. Jacques
de Morgan discovered Khnumet's
intact burial at
Dahshur within the enclosure
wall of her father's pyramid.
The jewels were found directly
on her mummy, but unfortunately
their exact order could not be
recovered. It was restrung in an
arbitrary way. Although three of
Khnumet's sisters were buried
near her, none of them were
buried with the same quantity or
variety of jewelry. She must
have been her father's favorite.
