Summary

Description

Gold spacer bars decorated with cats, created in Egypt about 1571 to 1566 BC. Found at Intef Edfu.

Spacer bars were used to separate strands of beads in headdresses, wigs, pectorals, collars, and bracelets. These were made during the reign of pharaoh Nubkheperra or Nubkheperre Intef, one of the latter pharaohs of the 17th Dynasty. After his line died out, the 18th Dynasty would reunite Upper and Lower Egypt, creating the New Kingdom.

Nubkheperra's cartouche is on the bottom of each bar.
