This fine silver shell pendant was issued by the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of the jewelry collection commemorating the 1976 King Tut exhibition. It is offered here strong on a modern 18" silver chain.
The original pendant, in the form of a bivalve shell, belonged to Queen Mereret of the XII Dynasty. The shell was beaten from a disk of gold and a suspension ring was soldered to the apex of the hollow back. Pearl shells, trimmed to shape and often inscribed with the king's name, were commonly worn in Egypt during the Middle Kingdom.
In honor of the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition that traveled to seven American cities between 1976 and 1979, the Metropolitan Museum of Art commissioned 100 pieces of commemorative jewelry duplicated from King Tut's tomb. The Met sent eight staff members to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo to cast replicas directly from the artifacts. This pendant was made from a mold taken directly from the original in the collection of the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Egypt.
