Inlaid Rosette ca. 1427-1400 B.C. New Kingdom This rosette has been inlaid with pieces of red jasper, faience, and glass in a technique called cloisonné. According to a note on the accession card, Howard Carter said that it was purchased by Theodore M. Davis from one of the men who funded excavations in KV 42 in the Valley of the Kings. While Carter was Chief Inspector of Antiquities for Upper Egypt, he had overseen the excavation of this tomb. In his report on the work, Carter mentions the rosette which he thought might be the bottom part of a menat or counterpoise for a ceremonial necklace.
