Jewelry Box, 12th Dyn

Jewelry and Toilet Box 1
Dynasty 12, reign of Senwosret II - Amenemhat III (ca. 1887-1813 BCE)
Ivory, gold, carnelian (restored: copper-alloy knobs, silver, faience, one carnelian inlay, and all the wood)

(From info card)
"The decoration is composed of alterating djed pillars and symbolic 'false doors,' also known from sarcophagi and the architecture of mastaba tombs.

The excavators concluded from the position of the objects that this box must have been fitted with a shallow tray for the mirror (now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo) and a drawer with two compartments. The razors, 'rouge dish,' and whetstones in the case would have been in one compartment and the jewelry in the two opposite cases in the other."

Fortunately, I did photograph a few of those other items:
