This fine silver ring was one of five rings issued by the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of the jewelry collection commemorating the 1976 King Tut exhibition. Fifteen rings, some with swivel bezels, were found on Tutankhamun's mummy, but only two were actually placed on his fingers; the remainder were bound in the linen wrappings, five over the right wrist and eight beside the left wrist. In addition, eight rings, which the ancient robbers had inadvertently left in the tomb wrapped in a piece of linen, were found in a gilded chest in the antechamber, where they had no doubt been placed by the necropolis staff. Five of these twenty-three rings were chosen by the Met.
This example, copied from the original King Tut ring, depicts two god-king figures with attributes of deities. The hieroglyphs may be read as an ideogram. The two seated figures are probably King Tut's parents, Akhenaten (left) and Nefertiti (right) as the deities Shu and Tefnut. Akhenaten holds a feather to demonstrate his command over air and associate him with the god Shu, bearer of the sun and god of air. Nefertiti appears as the goddess Tefnut, bringer of moisture and rain. A sun disk flanked by sacred cobras above and the earth hieroglyph below reflect Shu and Tefnuts association as father and mother of the earth and sky.
