Three coffins were
found in the tomb, the last was of solid gold. He was found with 15
rings of various sizes on his mummy fingers depending on the amount of linen
used to wrap his hands.
He also had 13 bracelets and assorted amulets and earrings. They also found among the treasures 415 statues of servants complete with baskets and tools (one for each day plus supervisors). These servants were to do the chores expected of the king in the afterlife. The large beds of gold leaf were probably beds to prepare the body for embalming. The three found with the king were the lion, hippo, and the cow. |
