treasures from egypt

Gold earrings bearing the cartouche of pharaoh Seti II found in tomb KV56 in 1908 by an Egyptian expedition funded by Theodore M. Davis. It is now located in the Cairo Museum
It is likely that Seti II may have originally been buried with his wife, Tausret, in her tomb and later moved to this tomb which appears to have been hastily and incompletely finished, by Sethnakht (Setakht). In fact, the tomb may have originally been started for Seti II but the work interrupted at some point.
