O-YEAR-OLD AM
ETHYST NECKLACE
found IN EGYPT
Boston Transcript

The Boston Museum of Fine Arts
has recently received from the Egyp-
tan Research Account (Society) a
unique treasure in archaeological jew
elry, selected by Professor Petrie,
the daughter Of Senusert II. (Userte-
Sen H. Of the twelfth dynasty in
Egypt. The inscription on the ala
baster Itinerary jars placed with the
three caskets that once contained her
royal jewels bears the clearly cut
title and name, the Royal Daughter,
Sat-Hathor-ant," or, as might now be
aptly transliterated, the Grown
Princess" For woman, certainly fe-
male royalty, held an exalted position
in old Egypt, exemplified by such
signal instances far apart, as Queen
Nitrocis Of the sixth dynasty, queen
Hataus (Hatsheput) Of the eighteenth
dynasty ("the Queen Elizabeth" OF
Egypt, and the enchanting Cleopatra.
Dr. Petrie's letter to me said, i
have just sent off to the museum IN
Boston the finest amethyst necklace
Gin Egypt) l have. ever SEEM" Here
let it be borne in mind that various
museums In the United States, Grea!
Britain and elsewhere contribute to
the Research Account work, and tina.
the museum in Cairo has the prior
selection Of all objects discovered in
Egypt. Even special expeditions. like
that conducted by DR.. Reisner for our
museum in Boston, are subject to the
same rule Of distribution. Thus it is
remarkable that so fine a piece Of the
jewelers. art should reach us here in
Boston.
Lahun, where the pyramid of
Senusert II. stands, near the entrance
to the F'ayun, is where Petrie did some
valuable work twenty-five years ago
There he found a will far older than
any previously known, and discovered
how the Egyptians produced fire. He
longed to go back there, and las:
spring he tackled the pyramid itself
where in a undiscovered niche he
found the finest collection Of jewelry
ever discovered in Egypt by foreign
excavator, and rivalled only by the
previous disclosure at Dashur.
Just where this bit of amethyst was
originally mined we do not know; but
Senusert II. worked the copper mines
Of Sinai and he may have secured
much Of the amethyst and lapis-
lazuli there for the jewelry made by
his artisans.
The necklace of Princess Sat con-
sists of eighty eight beads OF an I'M
usually rich color. we'll preserved the
string measuring over twenty-six
inches in length. The beads are we'll
graded and artistically strung. Its age
depends upon what chronology we
accept: Petrie in his history places
the reign Of Senusert II. at 1854 B. c.,
and Professor Breasted at 1906 B. c.
