Bracelet Belonging to the Princess Sithathoryunet

𓄀𓆑𓂋𓅱𓏭𓇑𓇑 – How beautiful is this?!?!

This beautiful π“„€ bracelet 𓂝𓏠𓆑𓂋𓏏𓇛 belonged to the princess Sithathoryunet, who is thought to be the daughter of the 12th Dynasty (c. 1887–1813 B.C.E) Pharaoh 𓉐𓉻 Senwosret II π“„Šπ“‹΄π“‚‹π“π“Šƒπ“ˆ–. She is thought to be his daughter because her tomb π“‡‹π“«π“Šƒπ“‰ is linked to his. Flinders Petrie was actually the one to discover her tomb π“‡‹π“«π“Šƒπ“‰. Despite being robbed in antiquity, the tomb robbers left a chest full of beautiful π“„€ jewelry behind! The bracelet 𓂝𓏠𓆑𓂋𓏏𓇛 is made out of gold π“‹žπ“ƒ‰π“ƒ‰π“ƒ‰ and other beautiful stones like turquoise! I just love how the red π“‚§π“ˆ™π“‚‹π“…Ÿ, gold π“‹žπ“ƒ‰π“ƒ‰π“ƒ‰ and blue 𓇋𓁹𓏏𓄿𓏸π“₯ colors all look together!

Despite most likely being the daughter of Senwosret II π“„Šπ“‹΄π“‚‹π“π“Šƒπ“ˆ–, the bracelet displays the cartouche of the pharaoh 𓉐𓉻 Amenemhat III π“‡³π“ˆ–π“™π“Œ³π“‚π“.

Let’s read some hieroglyphs π“ŠΉπ“Œƒπ“ͺ!

π“ŠΉπ“„€ – Great God
π“ŽŸπ“‡Ώπ“‡Ώ – Lord of the Two Lands
π“‡³π“ˆ–π“™π“Œ³π“‚π“ – Amenemhat III
𓏙𓋹 – Given Life

What’s exciting about this inscription π“Ÿπ“›π“₯ is that these are all phrases that we have covered in the past! A lot of the same titles and phrases pop up on various types of objects!
