Signet Ring
Egyptian, DYnasty 18, reign of Tutankhamun, ca. 1336-1327 BC
This horizomital signet ring shows signs of wear from frequent use as a seal. It is inscribed down the center with tutankamun's prenomen, Neb-Kheperu-re; on either side the king is referred to as "beloved of Amun, lord of eterinty."
This silver gilt Signet ring, marked with a 'K', was recovered from the Mary Rose. Like all signet rings at the time, it is very sturdy, so it could be used at a seal matrix for sealing and authenticating important documents.
It was found in association with some flint, a buckle and a silver coin, as well as human remains, suggesting it was worn at the time of the sinking. Whether the letter 'K' related to the owner's name, or some official title, we don't know.

Double Signet Ring
Egypt, Dynasty 18, reign of Akhenaten, ca. 1353-1336
The ring bezel is decorated with the royal device of two cartouches topped by ostrich plumes. The cartouches frame dancing figures of Bes, a minor god who frightened away demons and killed snakes and other harmful animals. Bes was closely associated with women in labor and with small childen, and use of his image on this ring suggests that it belonged to a queen.
Been following the signets around our local pond. Unfortunately, 2 have been lost since last week! Lets hope for the six remaining!
Signet ring
New Kingdom, Amarna Period, Dynasty 18, ca. 1353ā1323 B.C., Egypt
The horizontal cartouche on this ring encloses the insignia of Tutankhamun's successor, "The God's Father, Aye, Ruler of Thebes." Aye was a military officer who became the king's advisor, or "god's father," and this title was incorporated into his nomenclature when he ascended the throne.
