ABSTRACT
The jewellery of Ahhotpou is preserved in Boulaq Museum, where thousands of tourists admire it every winter. It often looks like the facade of a temple, surrounded by a torus. The buckle of Psarou must have served to fasten the linen waistband which confined the loin-cloth. The two women who seem to worship it on the right and left are Isis and Nephthys, the two sisters of Osiris. The pectoral in the centre belonged to Ramses II himself. They were called Nourit and Anatis-contented, and were harnessed to the royal chariot on the day of the battle of Qodshou, when Ramses II charged in person the Khitas who had surprised him. The Dahchour jewellery has preserved an appearance of freshness. If Gizeh can boast of possessing the substance of Dahchour and the queen Ahhotpou, the Berlin Museum has the admirable ornaments that Ferlini obtained from one of the Ethiopian pyramids and the Louvre carefully preserves the jewels of the Serapeum.
