My photo shows a collection of sixteen ancient Egyptian silver bangles lined up side by side in two rows of eight, one above the other. They are arranged on wooden cylinders inside a wooden box covered in gold sheet. The lower row is partially covered by the side of the wooden box. Each silver bracelet is broad and slightly curved, like a bangle. They are decorated with multi-coloured butterflies with out-stretched wings made from tiny inlaid pieces of semi-precious blue and green turquoise, deep blue lapis lazuli, and reddish-orange carnelian. Each bracelet is decorated with at least four butterflies (not all seen), with each butterfly separated by a circular piece of reddish-orange carnelian stone. Each bracelet decreases in diameter to be worn along the queen’s forearms. When discovered in 1925, there were originally 20 bracelets in the box. An inscription on the lid of the box (not shown in my photo) says 'Mother of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt Hetepheres, box carrying rings (bangles).

Stunning 4,600 year-old silver bracelets with inlaid semi-precious stones in the shape of butterflies! 🦋🦋🦋🦋

They belonged to Egyptian Queen Hetepheres. From her tomb at Giza. Old Kingdom, 4th Dynasty, c. 2613-2494 BC.
