Bed Covered with Gold Sheet
Of all the beds found, this one is the finest and most elaborate with a carved ebony frame covered in gold sheet. It has a string-mesh mattress and its footboard is divided into three panels. The central panel is decorated in relief with the "sema-tawy" symbol of unification; the other two panels show plant designs. Noting the scratch marks on the gold, the excavator concluded that this bed was actually used by the king during his lifetime. | ||
