Earrings of Pasebakhaienipet
1 of 7
Object Label
The earrings are each made from one piece of worked gold bent into a C-shape. Pasebakhaienipet’s mummy wore these earrings to ensure he would also wear them in the afterlife. Today’s standards of museum practice would not allow mummy unwrapping of the sort once undertaken to retrieve objects like these.
