Sealed Jar from the Tomb of Yuya and Tjuyu ca. 1390-1352 B.C. New Kingdom This storage jar is from a tomb in the Valley of the Kings that was made for the parents of Queen Tiye, the principal the wife of Amenhotep III and grandmother of Tutankhamun. The wide opening of the jar was probably closed with a small dish or a circular rush mat that was then covered with a thick layer of mud. This mud covering was then stamped repeatedly with a small oval seal. The seal impressions are imperfect, but it is possible to make out elements of the official seal of the Theban necropolis: a recumbant jackal with nine captives below.The tomb of Yuya and Tjuyu (KV 46) was excavated in February 1905 by American financier Theodore M. Davis of Rhode Island. In the division of finds, Davies received two large, sealed storage jars, a pair of sandals, two shabti boxes, three superbly crafted shabtis, and a group of shabti tools. Some of these pieces were given to The MET not long after the tomb was discovere
