Mid-Day Morsel Tour | All That Sparkles: Egyptian Jewelry at the Kelsey

Jewelry was important to the ancient Egyptians. In addition to being beautiful, it could convey status to the wearer and sometimes provide protection, both during life and in the afterlife. In this tour, we will look at Egyptian jewelry in the Kelsey Museum, including objects worn by ancient people, pieces designed only for the afterlife, and jewelry depicted on images of gods and goddesses.
