The Tapestry Kit Collection

The design for this kit is based on a pectoral (chest ornament) found on the body of the Pharoah Tutankhamen in which the 'Eye of Re' is made from glass-paste and gold cloisonne. Although Tutankhamen is believed to have died in 1343BC during the eighteenth dynasty, this object may well have been made and worn prior to his death. The original pectoral is housed in Cairo Museum, Egypt.
